A Contemporary Heightened Home in Hiroshima, Japan

— December 14, 2009 — Art & Design
References: naf-aad & whatwedoissecret.org
I absolutely adore the mixture of traditional and modern architecture taking place in Japan at the moment. This beautiful heightened home in Hiroshima, Japan by Tetsuya Nakazono at naf architect & design is a prime example of this dichotomy.

Stunningly modern, this single-family residence is a three-story wood and steel structure that allows for a large amount of natural light to flood in. The heightened home has unique circular cut-outs in the floor of the top tier of the house that house a spiral staircase and ladder for descent and ascension.

Trend Themes

  1. Traditional-modern Architecture — There is a trend towards combining traditional and modern architectural styles, creating unique and visually appealing designs.
  2. Heightened Homes — Designers are exploring the concept of elevated homes, incorporating multi-level structures that offer unique features and functional advantages.
  3. Circular Cut-outs — Circular cut-outs are becoming a popular design element in contemporary architecture, adding visual interest and unique spatial experiences.

Industry Implications

  1. Architecture and Design — Architects and designers have the opportunity to innovate and create new designs that merge traditional and modern elements, as well as implement elevated structures and circular cut-outs.
  2. Construction and Engineering — The construction and engineering industries can explore new techniques and materials to build heightened homes with unique features like circular cut-outs.
  3. Home Decor and Furnishing — The home decor and furnishing industry can tap into the trend of traditional-modern architecture by offering products that complement these styles and cater to homeowners with elevated homes.
