Small House, Sanaa

Small House: is a tiny private residence designed by the internationally acclaimed architect, Kazuyo Sejima (SANAA), in the affluent Aoyama district of Tokyo, Japan. Situated on a small infill lot measuring 60 m2, Small House is a bold example of architectural ingenuity amongst the dense similitude of the surrounding urban landscape. Completed in 2000, Small House is representative of simplistic design, encompassing a complex logic predicated on the principles of function, place, culture, and the intimacy of home. Small House delicately balances itself within the urban fabric of Tokyo; a representation of clean, modern architectural form imbued with layers of history, culture, and the embodiment of life.
