VitraHaus, Completion: 2009
Herzog & de Meuron
The "VitraHaus" is a direct architectural rendition of the ur-type of house, as found in the immediate vicinity of Vitra. By stacking, extruding and pressing simply shaped houses become complex configurations in space, where outside and inside merge. The interior is designed as a spatial sequence with suprising transitions and views of the landscape.
Tokyo Apartment, Sou Fujimoto 2006-2009
The communal housing built in a residential area in the center of Tokyo consists of five dwelling units, including the owner's. Each unit consists of two or three independent rooms in pro typical "house" shapes, which are separated and located on several floors, connected by exterior stairs. Each dwelling unit is realized by the experience of linking two rooms and the city when passing along the outside. It is a collective housing that represents "A tokyo that never exists (which) is made into a form intended to make an infinitely rich place that is crowded and disorderly"- Sou Fujimoto
