Sosuke Fujimoto's residential conversion.

This project represents an attempt to spatially reinterpret Sou Fujimoto's residential architectural approach. In Fujimoto's design, various cubic architectural volumes are rotated and overlapped, creating dynamic spaces for children to live, play, and explore. The project, serving as a sanatorium, skillfully transitions between openness and enclosure, balancing communal interaction with private retreat. In my reinterpretation, I aimed to replicate this spatial strategy within a residential context. The interplay between openness and enclosure, as well as the balance between public and private spaces, can be effectively achieved through a similar architectural language. By manipulating geometric volumes—rotating, shifting, and overlapping them—it is possible to craft residential spaces that are flexible, layered, and responsive to different needs. In this project, I have designed several housing prototypes that explore this concept. Each prototype experiments with spatial relationships, addressing both the intimacy of private domestic spaces and the vibrancy of shared communal zones. The cubes are not merely structural elements but act as spatial mediators, creating thresholds and transitions between interior and exterior, light and shadow, and public and private realms. Through these prototypes, I aim to demonstrate how architectural form and spatial articulation can foster diverse living experiences, encouraging fluid interactions while respecting personal boundaries. The result is a housing typology that is not only functional and efficient but also rich in spatial quality and human experience.
