The stark honesty of Hiroshima-born and -based 38-year-old architect Keisuke Maeda’s work is breathtaking.


The Pit Residence residence he developed for a client in Okayama, Japan, is a startling steel-structured 138 square-meter (1487 sq.ft.) “cave” that was built into the hillside website, however it permits the residents 360-degree views of the surrounding area and its buildings.

This is accomplished by mounting the above-the-surface element of the structure on 50 branch-like poles, creating a surround skylight for the amphitheater inside.

The Pit is 1 of those residences that 1 would completely want to check out, not just during the day but at night. There is an observatory-like feel to the space, however the inside appears entirely comfy.


The structure’s boxy surface silhouette hides beautiful, snail-like curving walls, and in spite of getting mostly underground, the residence is filled with light and openness.

Pit is certainly not the word we’d use to describe this wonderful structure, but possibly that name is portion of that honesty we so love about Maeda. - Tuija Seipell
