Houses, freedom and isolation
4/02/2010This is a house with no exterior windows, only skylights. It’s percieved as a closed space from the outside but if you see it from the inside it gives a great sense of openness:
It kept me thinking about isolation, percieved isolation and openness. Do their inhabitants feel free? Do outside people see it as a jail or, even worse, as a bunker? How it would be to have children inside? How seing only the sky would affect your mood if you lived there? Would that be a good solution to ugly sorroundings?
The house can be found in Obama, a Japanese town. It was designed by Suppose, a Japanese design and architecture firm which has other interesting and provoking works.
