Yukihiro Nakagawa's innovative "Sliced" house, a compact and eco-friendly residence, was constructed in June 2022 in Bizen City, Okayama Prefecture, Japan.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Japanese architect Yukihiro Nakagawa's "Sliced" house is a unique and environmentally conscious residential design that maximizes space and functionality. The house features a distinctive, cheese-like appearance and is designed to blend seamlessly with its natural surroundings, offering a view that changes with the seasons. The innovative design eliminates wasted space while providing ample family and storage space.
To ensure the building's strength and durability, special care was taken during construction, including cutting the first floor at an angle from two directions and reinforcing the structure to meet Japanese regulations and withstand earthquakes. The house is designed ecologically, requiring no electricity during the day and providing a compact and organized living space for efficient daily living.
The Sliced House, recognized with an Iron A' Design Award in 2024, showcases Nakagawa's commitment to creating comfortable, visually appealing environments that surpass client expectations. His design philosophy aims to inspire people and contribute to a better world through well-designed, practical, and innovative creations.
