"House with feeling of ocean nearby" is the request from the client. Responding this image, Sou Fujimoto try to create "various ocean": panoramic view of the ocean, ocean looking from recesses of a cave, enclosed ocean and a place like projected above the ocean.
Oriented in different directions, one can find various views of the ocean walking throughout the house.
Living area, bedroom and bathroom each has its unique relation to the ocean. One could say the house is akin to a walking trail along a coast, one could happen by a panoramic view, sometimes feel the ocean at the back or find the ocean through a small gap. And comfortable spaces to settle are scattered along the trail. Those spaces are the original image for this project.
Interminable spaces continuing over and over without any clear border, just as something before it separates, according to Fujimoto's statement: architecture to be primitive, "in-between natural and man-made".
"This is not a house on a promontory; rather, a house undergoing a metamorphosis from the promontory. In these craggy formations, there is variety of places: places to hide; open-spaces; seats opposite one another; leaning depressions; and ascending mound. This promontory is a cave flooded whit light". Sou Fujimoto, Primitive Future
