The stark honesty of Hiroshima-born and -primarily based 38-year-old architect Keisuke Maeda’s perform is breathtaking.
The Pit Residence residence he designed for a client in Okayama, Japan, is a startling steel-structured 138 square-meter (1487 sq.ft.) “cave” that was built into the hillside site, but it permits the residents 360-degree views of the surrounding region and its buildings.
This is achieved 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 one of those residences that 1 would definitely want to pay a visit to, not just throughout the day but at night. There is an observatory-like feel to the space, but the inside looks fully comfortable.
The structure’s boxy surface silhouette hides gorgeous, snail-like curving walls, and in spite of getting largely underground, the residence is filled with light and openness.
Pit is absolutely not the word we’d use to describe this fantastic structure, but possibly that name is element of that honesty we so love about Maeda. - Tuija Seipell
