Small Triangle Home Design: Rooftecture – Very Narrow House with Stunning Roof Design in Japan

Since the property price in Japan is prohibitively expensive, raising a structure on a small site can be a routine job for Japanese architects. The architects at Endo Shuhei Architects are some of them. But, they are not just built a beautiful house on a small site but also created a masterpiece within all site’s limitation. The triangle site is…small in all senses and also the slope location is difficult to access and to build a strong foundation to withstand any earthquake. The architects were re-shaping the slope site, strengthen the sides with stone wall, flatten some parts of the site for the built-up area, and built a stunning house on it. The most beautiful feature of this house is really visible, the roof. This roof is folded down to cover some part of the front, creating a unique shape that you certainly will not be able to see everyday. And to admire the views of the sea just in front of it, the roof has some windows accompanied by some windows on the façade. This is obvious that the architects have managed to use the space brilliantly, structurally and the aesthetically. This house is located in an old residential in Shioya Tarumi-ku, Kobe.
