Gap House by Michihiro Matsuo

Renowned architect Michihiro Matsuo presents the Gap House, a residential marvel completed in Hyogo, Japan in March 2021. The design was awarded the prestigious Silver A' Design Award in 2021 for its outstanding expertise and innovation.

The Gap House was inspired by the client's desire for a bright and open living space, leading to the creation of a three-dimensional diagonal line effect by crossing the buildings in consideration of the angle of the sun and changing the height. The design's unique feature lies in the three-dimensional diagonal lines drawn inside the space, creating depth and a new sense of distance for the residents.

Constructed with a wooden structure, the Gap House prioritizes heat insulation performance and durability, ensuring strength and safety in earthquake-prone Japan. The spacious living area on the second floor offers privacy and a rich daily life, while the well-arranged house shapes and trees effectively block the line of sight of neighbors.

Michihiro Matsuo's Gap House is a testament to innovative architectural design, pushing the boundaries of residential construction while embracing sustainability and functionality.
