Gilbam

Villa Gilbam is a residential house located on a mountain slope in the Siahkal region of northern Iran. The site covers about 750 square meters and falls about 10 percent from east to west. The house stands on the east of the land, on the same rectangle of about 8 by 15 meters where an earlier building once stood, so contact with the ground is limited. Two cantilevered volumes extend from the core at ground and first floor levels without touching the ground. The three volumes are angled to form a shared central space with views of the surrounding mountains.

Hikari Tsuzuraori

Hikari Tsuzuraori is a two storey vacation house located in Kamakura, Japan, near Hasedera Temple. The site is a flag lot surrounded by close neighboring houses, so natural light was limited. The structural core is divided into four parts, placed unevenly to form small gardens and to draw daylight inside. The staggered cores and the alternately folded roof slope create an opening at the top, admitting sunlight by day and offering a view of the stars at night. The lower floor is a quiet Japanese space for meditation, while the upper floor is open and bright for family life.
