Japanese Modernist home on Sagami Bay “The architects brought even more light into the main house by conceiving the roof as a fifth façade of glass. Automated louvers control the degree of sunlight, and the striated chiaroscuro patterns create a theater of shifting light inside, adding another dimension to the variety of light admitted by the perimeter of glass.” Architecture and Interior Design by Foster + Partners.

Japanese Modernist home on Sagami Bay

“The architects brought even more light into the main house by conceiving the roof as a fifth façade of glass. Automated louvers control the degree of sunlight, and the striated chiaroscuro patterns create a theater of shifting light inside, adding another dimension to the variety of light admitted by the perimeter of glass.”

The main house is elevated on a platform so that its living areas have uninterrupted views of the water.
