The stark honesty of Hiroshima-born and -primarily based 38-year-old architect Keisuke Maeda’s work is breathtaking.
The Pit Residence residence he made for a client in Okayama, Japan, is a startling steel-structured 138 square-meter (1487 sq.ft.) “cave” that was constructed into the hillside website, yet it allows the residents 360-degree views of the surrounding area and its buildings.
This is accomplished by mounting the above-the-surface portion of the structure on 50 branch-like poles, making a surround skylight for the amphitheater inside.
The Pit is 1 of those residences that 1 would completely want to go to, not just during the day but at evening. There is an observatory-like really feel to the space, however the inside appears totally comfy.
The structure’s boxy surface silhouette hides stunning, snail-like curving walls, and in spite of becoming largely underground, the residence is filled with light and openness.
Pit is certainly not the word we’d use to describe this superb structure, but perhaps that name is part of that honesty we so enjoy about Maeda. - Tuija Seipell
