Article source: Tsukano Architect Office This house was designed to be situated among the mountains of Nara Prefecture located in Midwest of Japan. The south side of the house place is connecting with the gentle slopes, we can see green valleys under us without any concern of people eyes. The client is a married couple having one child. They wanted to house that “living” by physically itself linked directly to the atmosphere, with fostering their kids. So, they planned the house which was pulled out from the mountain, as the solid blocks. The pulled out land exposes the soil surface on the top of the land, it includes the buds of the plants as well as life of the insects in the walls.  Image Courtesy © Tsukano Architect Office

It has been filled with soil and stones with air-dried moisture content, gravel between the glasses fixed to both sides of the pillar using DPG (Dot Point Glazing). The soil which has been dug out from the mountain will be used again to reproduce the geological formation of the land, and at the same time, environmental impact is reduced because of the reduced thermal flow of the wall.
