From the architect. The house is anchored to an interior patio with 11.5m x11.5m x 5.75m.

The patio acts as the center of the house, an outdoor room. A space built in reference to the atmosphere of the traditional mediterranean patio, defining a place of intimacy, light and shadow.

The house is organized around the patio, through a path from the common areas, in the south/east, to the most private rooms in the north.

The house is lived as a continuous space without interior doors, with different heights and atmospheres in order to define its use. The central patio is the only autonomous space where the physical boundary is precise and defined.


Ground Floor Plan

Ground Floor Plan

The construction is simple and austere, emphasizing the pure qualities of light, shadow and space, looking for a constructive and economic optimization: concrete structure; interior and exterior walls with pigmented plaster; inside floors finished with pigmented concrete; ceilings with exposed natural concrete; frames with fixed glass and metal doors.

This was a July evening at Gullfoss. The colours were very nice in the sky, so I preserved them with my Magic Cloth.

Sacred Fall by YOSHIHIKO by YOSHIHIKO

Sacred Fall:
Firstly I’m sorry for a little absent from 500px.
I’m devoting and cocooning for some of my new series of works, which takes me
so much time to finish. I can’t reveal them right now, but I’ll be able to publish them in very near future.

Back to the pic, this is from my archives and still one of the favorite water fall image.

The trusted photographic magazine “camerapixo”, just released the new issue
“Coffee Table Photo Book Nature 1”

and this one is on the book along with many very, very beautiful nature photographs. I want to go into a creek and, breeze fresh air, but I don’t have much time to do so. Instead I developed some water falls from my archives, and blogged about the water fall.
