Katsutoshi Sasaki, a Japanese architect, has fulfilled his dream of designing his own home for his family. The house is located in Toyota City between the Toyota employee dormitory and factory on a previously vacant land.

Sasaki explored overlapping functions resulting in a house with no walls or doors, aiming to create a space where family and nature are connected and overlap. The design is simple, using a rectangular form with evenly spaced timber columns, with rooms connected by a central spiral staircase. The interior is filled with voids and thin floor plates that allow light to flood the space.

Varying woods were used for the interiors, creating a textured, soft, warm, and robust space. The exterior uses red cedar timber painted a deep green to reflect the mountains and forests in Japan.

Sasaki designed the house using the principle of wabi-sabi, a Japanese philosophy of appreciating beauty in imperfection and the passage of time. Sasaki has embraced this with his home evolving and growing with the children as they age.

English and Japanese subtitles are available.
