空を捕まえる家 - A Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Living Experience in Chigasaki

This is a stunning, L-shaped single-story house designed by the renowned Tezuka Architects, aptly named "The House That Catches the Sky." The property features a central courtyard that is visible from every room, creating a seamless connection between the indoor living spaces and the outdoors. The exterior is a white box with few windows facing the outside, prioritizing privacy, while the interior is remarkably open and bright. The main entrance opens into a space that can function as a foyer or lounge, with a second entrance from the adjacent room for flexible use. The living, dining, and kitchen area opens completely onto a wooden deck terrace, making it an extension of the home. The kitchen is spacious and equipped with a 4-burner stove and ample storage. The house is managed by a built-in air conditioning system for whole-house climate control. The bathroom offers a view of the courtyard and sky through glass, and the wide vanity sink features two faucets. The property includes four rooms arranged along the corridor, which can be used as bedrooms or workspaces. The land is a flagpole lot with parking for up to three cars.
