Circular Pit House With A Sunken Footprint

Japanese architecture is often impressive, and this time too. UID Architects built a pit house in Okayama Prefecture for a single family of three. The primary structure consists of concentric habitable cylinders made of concrete with a sunken circular base. Inside there are many separate levels with small gardens and several elements. The amazing thing about the house is structural plywood panels of reddish color and cherry planks. The whole house is reminiscent of a huge oasis, a place to rest in a big city. The whole atmosphere makes you relax and feel close to nature thanks to many gardens and large windows that let light in.
