Stairs

Japanese trained y+M design firm built a house with an accessible tiered rooftop that provides broad views of the surrounding natural area. The house is designed to take advantage of the ever-changing scenery, with an open garden near to the flowing river.

The Stair Home is a 213 m² area house constructed of three triangular volumes, with a volume in the center including a claimable staircase to provide a perspective over the site.

A bizarre, larger-than-life staircase adds next-level utility to a Minato, Tokyo residence. The three-story house is intended to house three generations of the same family. It takes the place of a smaller, timber-framed structure that had gotten overshadowed by nearby residential complexes.
