Jutaku — 'house' in Japanese. Contemporary residential architecture on narrow lots, dense urban sites, and challenging terrain, where strict codes and spatial constraint produce some of the most inventive domestic work anywhere. Dry-garden courtyards, double-height voids, cantilevered cubes, houses climbing through themselves. Compression as discipline; section as plan.
Jutaku, 'house' in Japanese — contemporary residential architecture built one narrow plot at a time.
