The Moriyama House is a great execution of the concept of mixing public and private spaces by architect Ryue Nishizawa. Every room is a building itself and with 10 of them in the same compound you get this really wonderful combination of a private space where every person (6 tenants) has their own “home” and there is this unit C which acts as the living room where they can all have a get together session. This striking concept makes the Moriyama House almost like a little village but only better! You can have a 360 degree view and the floor plans of this very interesting project via The Japan Architect, just click on the level and the blue dots.
