House in Koto / Uno Architects
Briefly

The house, situated by Lake Biwa, uniquely transforms at sunset, reflecting vibrant shades of red that enhance the natural beauty and viewer experience.
By positioning the house to face west, the design captures exceptional sunset views, integrating a spacious ceiling that allows natural light to flow unobstructedly.
The inner terrace, acting as a buffer from the western sun, permits residents to enjoy the outside air while providing an unobstructed view of the sunset.
Using cedar boards to guide the sunlight into the living space, the design not only creates aesthetic appeal but also enhances the warmth from the setting sun.
