This <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/tag\/residential-architecture-interiors\/\">residence<\/a><\/strong> began with the careful designing of living spaces opening towards the verdant landscape of the park. The ground floor houses a small art gallery open as a venue for young artists, while the owner\u2019s living quarters occupy the upper floor. A 9-meter bench facing the park is positioned in front of the gallery, providing a social space for visitors and the local community.<\/p>\n<p>all images by Norihito Yamauchi unless stated otherwise<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wow wow-yellow\">a composition of richly layered spaces defines the house<\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The living room on the upper floor features a circular window on its eastern side, welcoming the morning sun. Natural light casts a circular pattern on the floor, shifting throughout the day. The south-facing, horizontal window, reminiscent of traditional Japanese shoji screens, maximizes the incorporation of the park\u2019s green scenery into the living space. Afternoon light illuminates the living spaces through a skylight set into the pitched roof. Furthermore, a tall, vertical window piercing the second-floor flooring brightens the vertical circulation space within the staircase connecting the upper and lower floors.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kias.co.jp\/\">Studio<\/a><\/strong> KIAS\u2019 design follows the sequence of space, windows, structure, and exterior finishes. This sequence inverts the hierarchy, prioritizing space over structure and creating a pleasing disjunction between exterior, structure, and space. The result is a dwelling formed by richly composed spaces.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>KIAS designs a residence within Zenpukuji Park\u2019s natural landscape<\/p>\n<p>layers of window openings mediate the relationship with nature<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>a 9-meter bench extends toward the park, inviting community use | image by Nanako Ono<\/p>\n<p>the house balances private living with a public-facing art gallery | image by Nanako Ono<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>circular window in the living room welcomes morning sunlight | image by Nanako Ono<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>living spaces are oriented to maximize connection with the park | image by Nanako Ono<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>large windows recall the rhythm of traditional shoji screens | image by Nanako Ono<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>glazing elements define the sequence of daily light transitions<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>project info:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>name:<\/strong>\u00a0House in Zenpukuji Park<br \/>\n<strong>architect:<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kias.co.jp\/\">KIAS<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/kias_studio\/\">@kias_studio<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>structure:<\/strong> BSI<\/p>\n<p><strong>contractor:<\/strong> Suiga<\/p>\n<p><strong>location:<\/strong> Suginami, Tokyo, Japan<\/p>\n<p><strong> area:<\/strong> 132.5 sqm<\/p>\n<p><strong>photographers:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/n-y-p.jp\/\">Norihito Yamauchi<\/a>,\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/nanakoono.com\/\">Nanako Ono<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/nanakoono_\/\">@nanakoono_<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>designboom has received this project from our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/readers-submit\">DIY submissions<\/a>\u00a0feature, where we welcome our readers to submit their own work for publication. see more project submissions from our readers\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/readers\/\">here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>edited by: christina vergopoulou | designboom<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/architecture\/circular-aperture-natural-light-gabled-tokyo-house-kias-zenpukuji-park-10-03-2025\/\">circular aperture welcomes natural light within gabled tokyo house by KIAS<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/\">designboom | architecture &amp; design magazine<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KIAS designs a residence within Zenpukuji Park\u2019s greenery \u00a0 KIAS\u2018 House in Zenpukuji Park is located within the rich natural surroundings of the historical temple area in Suginami Ward, Tokyo.
