House in Hoshigaoka by Shogo ARATANI Architect & Associates

House in Hoshigaoka is a minimal architecture project located in Osaka, Japan, designed by Shogo ARATANI Architect & Associates. The site is located in North Eastern part of Osaka prefecture, where its surrounding neighborhood in mature residential quarter remains quiet, even though it is just a little away from a main road. While the site has a flat condition as it does not have any height difference, the surrounding residential area has ups and downs, and the site is in a sunken part of the area. This is a project to design a small house for three adult residents — an elderly couple and their grown up child. Since the site is large enough compared to the requested volume of the house, it was possible to provide a parking space on the north side, a garden space on the south side, and a space for a wide approach on the west side of the site.
