Green House
Suginami-ku, Tokyo
The name of the apartment building that originally stood here was also “Green House.
The name was a wish that the place would be full of greenery.
Therefore, we decided to carry on the name from the beginning, and considered what we could do to leave as much plantable ground as possible while securing sufficient rental space.
The remaining ground has room for trees to grow, and life is going in all directions.
The appearance of three small, snaky houses lined up in a row seems as if they could start walking at any moment.
They are one and the same, but at the same time they are all different. It is as if they are one and the same, and it doesn't matter which one it is. It is as if to say to us in these uncertain times, “There is no right answer, it doesn't matter which way you look, it's fine! In these uncertain times, we aimed to create an architecture that speaks to us, “There is no right answer, and it doesn't matter which way you look!
