A modern brutalist exterior openly surrounds this delicately detailed Japanese home, expertly designed by Apollo Architects & Associates. The 410-square-meter property is located in a quiet suburban neighborhood in the densely populated Kanto region. The homeowners acquired this terrestrial and irregularly formed part with significant family time. The owners wanted to incorporate courtyards as part of their home life together, and so the design began to take shape within the difficult topography. The distinctive outdoor environment expands the living space in complete privacy. The home interior carries a contemporary ranch-style aesthetic that forms a comfortable combo of living room and dining room, and a closed, glass walled kitchen.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Two colossal concrete volumes make up the brutalist house exterior. Atmospheric light shone along the edge of a wide driveway, mysteriously leading the way to the parking garage and entrance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The driveway leads into a covered four-parking garage, located under the main mass of the board-shaped concrete house. With the property lifted off the road, the main living space is accessed by an elevator or staircase from the secure car park.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

In the concrete living room, wooden panels heat up the formwork ceiling, adding a contemporary ranch-style aesthetic to space.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Leather strong cushions take the brown accent to a modern design of L-shaped sectional sofa.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

A small seat is located separately from the main lounge, and a formal dining room is arranged in the back of the open plan.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

A small courtyard sits between the comb room and dining room and the separate kitchen, creating a happy connection with the outside.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

A large garden terrace is attached to the living room on the south side.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The centrally located courtyard brings a flood of sunlight into the back of the large room, and gives the dining room a beautiful, green, natural view.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The rectangular dining table reflects the influx of natural sunlight, maximizing its impact.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Modern closets run the entire length of the room, starting as a media closet in the living area and ending as a buffet in the dining area.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Elegant candelabra and a modern fruit bowl make a chic dining table ornament.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

After dark, the interior lives under a warm and atmospheric light scheme.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

LED ribbons are set around the perimeter of the room, causing a glow on a floor that continues out into the walled garden with one seamless swing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Another strip of LED marks the top of the tailored cabinets that connect the two living spaces.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The brightness creates the pleasantness of a fireplace without the flame.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Modern artwork and the impressive formwork ceiling are drastically highlighted by the mood lighting.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Glass double doors connect the enclosed kitchen to the combo living room and dining room. A second set of glass doors leads into a corridor.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The small courtyard gives the kitchen an exterior view.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

In the kitchen, a proportionate island includes a dining room as an alternative to the more formal dining room.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Golden kitchen lighting maintains the atmospheric atmospheres of the dining room and living room space.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Gray glossy closets contrast starkly with clean white roofs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

A modern glass fruit bowl presents an opportunity to add color into the monochrome kitchen decorating scheme.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

A glass table lamp completes the chic glass bowl and leaves the patio window unobstructed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

In the large south-facing garden, high walls allow the residents to enjoy their distinctive outdoor environment in complete privacy from the neighbors.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The board-shaped concrete walls create a textural consistency around each of the outdoor spaces that is gently captured in the surrounding light.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Elevators transform outdoor plants into amazing foci across the tiled terrace.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Modern metal staircase design climbs from the parking garage to the living space under a long skylight. Access to the elevator is located just beyond the steps.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The large garden terrace connects the living room with the master bedroom and bathroom.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

A home workspace is built in at the end of a long run of built-in units. Their bright black finish reflects the light, the furniture and the art.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

A home workspace has a tailored L-shaped desk built into small apartments. Eames bird controls productivity from the window.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The bathroom is a luxurious space, with an edge view of the very private terrace garden on the south side. Black glossy closets build up storage full of vanity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

A waterproof TV provides entertainment while resting in the bathtub.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

A sunny corridor runs away from the living room. Sunlight through the skylight creates dynamic shadows and glow across a wall of bright closet doors and interior doors that lead to the bedroom, bathroom and laundry room.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Elegant outdoor seating sits on the terrace outside the master bedroom, while a cheerful sky-blue outdoor sofa and chair color the terrace directly from the living room. An outdoor coffee table surrounds the comfortable layout.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

A concrete overhang prevents direct sunlight from hitting the interior spaces, keeping the home more comfortably cool.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

A pergola cover creates a light play through the small courtyard between the living room and kitchen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Small trees lie on the roof terrace. High lights highlight its fine branches in the evening.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The seemingly impenetrable concrete exterior masks the delicate detail that awaits inside.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
