This is the second part of a two-parter on two Tokyo houses: see the previous post on Ryue Nishizawa’s Moriyama House for more context and references. The subtitle of these pieces, “The quiet accumulation of urban elements rooted in daily life”, is a Koh Kitayama line, repeated below.)
I recently took advantage of jetlag to do a very early morning visit to Sou Fujimoto’s House NA, completed in 2011. Up with the first wave of commuters, actually before rush hour, I took a few subway lines from Ginza, for perhaps 45 minutes, out to the ‘typical’ Tokyo suburb of Koenji.
