SET WITHIN A REGULAR METAL-CLAD BOX FORM, THE ‘CAVE HOUSE’ BY JAPANESE STUDIO ATELIER KENTA ETO PROVIDES A PRIVATE EXTERIOR COURTYARD SPACE THROUGH A VOID THAT SPLITS THE VOLUME INTO TWO

HALVES. on the ground floor, a kitchen, living, and dining area are enclosed by sliding glass doors that convert it into an exterior space together with the walled garden. a single staircase

leads up to the private bedrooms whose windows look out over the garden and through a large void in the outer partition to the surrounding neighborhood. the metal exterior cladding is

juxtaposed by the warmth of the interior wood flooring and white walls. image © noriyuki yano (also main image) image © noriyuki yano window looking to the outer site image © noriyuki yano
