Yokohama Aoba Housing

This project creates a home that integrates nature into urban living. Designed by renowned architect Shin Takamatsu, the focus is on living harmoniously with the sky. The pentagonal plot features a central courtyard that connects all rooms, allowing residents to feel linked to the sky. A double Mobius strip design, with a staircase and hallway, creates a loop, offering flexibility for family activities. This design supports diverse scenarios, adapting to the changing needs of the residents.

Winner Designer

Shin Takamatsu and Kei Tamai

In Japan's urban areas, the population has begun to decline and we are now in an era where there are too many houses, and even though this will continue to progress, unnecessary densification continues. If we hold out for a while now, we can maintain this favorable environment into the future. Now that we have moved from an era of expanding towns to an era of shrinking towns, carefully constructing each house will lead to a beautiful town. Building homes that lead to the future is our social contribution.

The grounds are limited, but the sky is limitless. The concept is to use the sky to create a bright and spacious space. When you look up from the courtyard, you can see the sky all your own.
