Residential House Design "Cross" by Michihiro Matsuo

Michihiro Matsuo's "Cross" design is a testament to innovative residential architecture, inspired by the expansive views surrounding the site. The design aims to seamlessly integrate the outdoor scenery into the indoor living space, fostering a rich sense of connection with the environment. The intersecting planes create a unique architectural device, promoting communication and multi-purpose usage within the residence.

The realization of the "Cross" design involved the adoption of a wooden structure, carefully engineered for heat insulation and durability, crucial for earthquake-prone regions like Japan. The spacious interior, with a floating living space on the second floor, ensures privacy while inducing a sense of openness and connection with the surroundings.

Michihiro Matsuo's dedication to sustainable living is evident in the meticulous research and technical challenges overcome to create a low-carbon, energy-efficient residence. The design's accolades include the prestigious Silver A' Design Award in 2023, recognizing its outstanding expertise, innovation, and remarkable architectural excellence.
