Glass Roof House to Love the Eart
The Beach Valley glass roof house presents a balance between nature and architecture. This underground home design, created by Japan’s Sambuichi Architects, plays up natural aesthetics, modern minimalist interiors and sustainable technologies that usher this simple hill house straight into the future. “A close examination on how changing wind directions and intensities in daylight influences the site, enables me to understand what kind of architecture is really needed on each location,” according to Sambuichi. Set adjacent to a vast river plane and mountains, this eco friendly architecture makes an understated impression, with its contemporary glazed roof visible among the grassy surface. Beneath it, carved into the earth, four bedrooms and ironically, an underground sunroom, are an unexpected discovery. The earth becomes a means for passive climate control in the house, maintaining a comfortable temperature year-round, off the grid. Like the cooling and heating system, lighting is passive, thanks to the glass roof. Natural stone and richly finished woods complement the home’s natural surroundings. Sambuichi Architects

Modern Japanese Tea House
Stop in for a spot of tea at this sheet metal house, a modern Japanese Tea House located in Osaka, Japan. And if tea isn’t your thing, then you can just sit back and appreciate this modern work of architecture. Designed by forward-thinking Ks Architects lead by architect Hiroaki Kimura, this metal tea house is an industrial-style gem set amidst the serenity of trees and ponds. The juxtaposition of these polar opposites creates an interesting introduction into this unusual home. But somehow, the simple steel sheets that characterize this contemporary house really work. The fold-over roof overhangs floor-to-ceiling windows flanking the front of the house, creating a sheltered area with just enough room to kneel and sip traditional Japanese teas while taking in the calm surroundings.
