Chemin De Fer

Outside In- Takeshi Hosaka

Interesting home. Skylights line each peak on the roof letting in a lot of daylight. I also find that the hue of the wood in the interior plays off of the dark grey of the concrete. As the name implies, there is a gradual transition from outside to in and vice versa because of the beautiful patio that separates the inside from the outside. Moveable windows make it easy to shut off this patio completely from the outside. While nothing truly amazes the eye, I think the idea the architect has played with here can be refined further to create something even better. Interesting all the same.
