--- 10 --- Azuma House - Luan Vinicius

Azuma House is a project of one of my favorite architects, Tadao Ando. What I love in this house is how it has two different ideas working in the same time. If you see this home outside, it looks like a heavy place, something claustrophobic. But when you see inside, the open courtyard shows a home largely illuminated by the natural light and with a presence of natural ventilation. The kitchen, living, dining and bathroom are located on the ground floor. The two bedrooms are located on the second floor, linked by a bridge. The home is so unique and singular that makes an interesting contrast between the houses where it is located, because it is in an area with a lot of traditional Japanese homes made by wood. The simplicity and pragmatic functionality of the project is something that really attracts and enchant me on this project.
