Morimachi House
Toshiaki Tanaka
Architecture, Building and Structure Design Morimachi House by Toshiaki Tanaka House in Morimachi is a single storey house designed in a minimal form. The house is clad in metal sheets and kept low to respect the surrounding scenery. Steel framing forms the main structure, with dimensions standardized to the module of the traditional Japanese timber house to keep a familiar sense of scale. Wood sliding doors add depth, continuity and openness to the interior. The garden combines water scenery with gently undulating ground, creating a different view from each room along the south facade. Traditional carpentry and plaster techniques were used throughout.
