A windowless wall punctured by a giant void projects from this steel-clad Japanese house near Tokyo, creating a secret “exterior living room”.
Located in a dense residential district in Fuchū, Cover House’s striking form was designed by Apollo Architects & Associates to create privacy for the residents, while ensuring the interiors have sufficient light levels.
“The roof and exterior walls are constructed from metallic grey Galvalume, which forms both a structural skin and protects the privacy of the residents, by shielding the first floor from visibility from the street,” explained Apollo Architects & Associates.
“A large opening in the roof brings in abundant natural light and makes the compact space feel more expansive.”
Due to a lack of garden space, Apollo Architects & Associates transformed the gap made by the projecting wall into a private courtyard.
Accessed through floor-to-ceiling glass doors on the ground floor, the courtyard features a large outdoor sofa, and has bright white walls that also help to increase light levels both internally and externally.
“The layout ensures privacy and a peaceful mood. It’s hard to believe the street is just on the other side of the wall,” said the architect.
Cover House’s interiors have been designed by Apollo Architects & Associates to resemble an inn, “where family and friends can enjoy a meal at the ‘restaurant’ below and then relax upstairs”.
The ground floor functions as an open-plan kitchen, eating area and a space to entertain guests, and features a black bistro-inspired kitchen island.
It is flanked by a bright white circulation space, which hosts minimal floating staircases that lead up to a double-height first floor, and a mezzanine level.
The first floor accommodates a living room that looks out onto the surrounding neighbourhood through floor-to-ceiling glazing, and houses two small bedrooms, with a third on the mezzanine level.
The interiors are complete with pared-back finishes, including wooden cabinetry and walnut flooring that complement the exposed timber structure.
Apollo Architects & Associates also left the structure exposed in its Ark-inspired house, which features a symmetrical layout, and Nord house in Tokyo that boasts a spacious loft that doubles as a children’s playroom.
