The stark honesty of Hiroshima-born and -based 38-year-old architect Keisuke Maeda’s work is breathtaking.
The Pit House residence he created for a client in Okayama, Japan, is a startling steel-structured 138 square-meter (1487 sq.ft.) “cave” that was constructed into the hillside site, however it permits the residents 360-degree views of the surrounding region and its buildings.
This is accomplished by mounting the above-the-surface portion of the structure on 50 branch-like poles, creating a surround skylight for the amphitheater inside.
The Pit is a single of these residences that one would definitely want to check out, not just throughout the day but at evening. There is an observatory-like feel to the space, however the inside appears entirely comfortable.
The structure’s boxy surface silhouette hides gorgeous, snail-like curving walls, and in spite of getting mostly underground, the residence is filled with light and openness.
Pit is undoubtedly not the word we’d use to describe this great structure, but maybe that name is portion of that honesty we so really like about Maeda. - Tuija Seipell
