\"\"<\/p>\n

This 6-unit rental apartment complex sits on a residential hilltop in suburban Tokyo (Kawasaki, Kanagawa Prefecture).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The building designed by Masaki Endoh<\/b> of EDH (Endoh Design House)<\/a> is made of steel-reinforced concrete. Each unit is approximately 540 s.f. and has a unique layout.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A color scheme using orange, white, and gray works well with residential architectures in Japan as you could also see in Keiichi Irie’s “C House”<\/a> and recently built “SWING” by Akira Yoneda.<\/p>\n
