Lap and Wrap House

Hatsuo Morimoto

Architecture, Building and Structure Design Lap and Wrap House by Hatsuo Morimoto In this plan, the retaining wall and the building foundation are rationally combined, and the surplus part is returned to the courtyard as much as possible. The foundation is not vertical but slanted to give it a shape and give it an expression. The outer wall overlaps like a stack and continuously wraps around in a belt shape. There are no windows on the outside, but on the garden side, many windows and eaves create an intermediate area, creating a space that integrates the inside and outside.
