Spiralled DNA Homes

Double Helix House by Onishimaki and Hyakudayuki Architects isn't Easy to Find

— April 9, 2012 — Art & Design
The Double Helix House is the perfect name to describe this spiral-designed home. It's located in the Yanaka area in Tokyo and it's not easy to find; it's accessible only from a small alley off a main road with twists and turns along the way.

Designed by Onishimaki and Hyakudayuki Architects, this house stands out amongst the others as its modern wood exterior jazzes up the facade that strongly contrasts the dull color in the area. The alley that leads to the house eventually turns into a passageway that winds up and around the home. This stair-wrapped house comes with no fitness room but it does have a lot of steps that'll provide endless exercise. The core of the home is a white cube structure where all the rooms reside and the end of the path is the roof top terrace with immaculate views.

Trend Themes
1. Spiral Architecture - Opportunity for architects and designers to explore more unconventional and unique designs for homes and buildings.
2. Vertical Living Spaces - Potential for developers to create more efficient use of space in high-density areas with tall, spiralled buildings.
3. Innovative Exterior Design - Opportunity to experiment with new exterior materials and designs to enhance the visual appeal of buildings in otherwise dull areas.
Industry Implications
1. Architecture - Innovative designers and architects can capitalize on the growing demand for unique and unconventional buildings in both residential and commercial settings.
2. Real Estate Development - Developers can create more efficient and space-saving residential buildings in high-density urban areas by utilizing spiral designs.
3. Exterior Design Materials - Manufacturers and designers can take advantage of the need for new and innovative materials to enhance the appearance of buildings.
