The Triangle House in Ogaki City, Japan was designed by Katsutoshi Sasaki. The home is a single-family residence with uniquely sloped sides which reduce wind resistance. This allows for the home to consume less energy during the cold, heavily windy winter months.
Constructed using a solid wood frame, the Triangle House is an eco-friendly residential piece of architecture. The imaginative form of the structure not only lends interest to the eye, but serves a function that will ensure longevity.
