Japanese architectural firm Suppose Design Office has designed the House in Saijo. Completed in 2007, this 1,243 square foot contemporary home’s unique pyramid shape was inspired by a pit-house. It is located in Hiroshima, Japan. The client is a couple with three children hoped there are bright openhearted space, and keeping the privacy. Earth excavated from the site was used to build a wall around the house, creating a room below ground level surrounded by glass but shielded from its neighbours. The upper floors are composed only by the pyramid shaped roof. The main feature of the house is perhaps its skylight which connects each floor. The pyramid-shaped upper storey rises above the glazed level, filled with light from a skylight in the top. According to the architects, Suppose Design Office says: “When I always create, I think that I want to find the charm of the that plan. A client is a couple with three children hoped there are bright openhearted space, and keeping the privacy. Each floor was connected by the hole made for the center of the floor, and they were able to materialize to become the various property.
