Sculptural Cubist Home Designs

The Frame House Boasts a Minimalist Geometric Shape

— August 31, 2021 — Art & Design
The Frame House is located in a suburban area in the Shiga prefecture in Japan. Designed by local architecture practice FORM / Kouichi Kimura Architects, the family home embraces cubic geometric shapes to create a minimalist appearance. The contemporary home is finished in muted colors and has a simplistic interior.

The structure comprises a stacked-box formation. Made from corrugated steel, black-coated steel, and gray mortar, the house was designed to incorporate maximum light and privacy. Strategically placed rectilinear windows offer generous views of the surrounding landscape while keeping the home's interior private from the street. Abstract in form, the ground floor unfolds into a spacious entrance hall. A skylight on the second floor brightens the interior's muted colors.
