Article source: YDS Architects This is a housing complex built in a beautiful greenery site next to Shakujii park. Shakujii park is very large and famous park in Tokyo. The main concept is to take in the beautiful nature around the site.  Image Courtesy © YDS Architects

A court named ‘a garden in the city’ was put into this architecture and covered by aluminium loovers. This court served as a void and is softly articulated by these louvers and put in the woods around the site.

In the entrance hall we can see the city outside,and also be able to see the court to feel the nature. There are 24 housing units inside this housing complex,two of them are directly beside the court.

Outside staires are in the court,so residents are able to feel the light and the winds going up and down the staires.

This outside staires are like a road to the each housing which is always lost in the housing complexes.

In a city in which people are detached from the nature,I designed a space like an original landscape where we are able to feel the nature.
