Arc V House

Architecture, Building and Structure Design Arc V House by Seiji Takahashi Situated at the foot of a hill harboring 1600 year old burial mounds and feudal castle ruins this multi generational residence organizes two autonomous volumes into a symmetrical V shaped configuration This geometry aligns the visual vanishing point with the ancestral hillside establishing a formal connection with the layered history of the site An interstitial central void serves as both approach and courtyard resolving the functional tension between individual autonomy and shared familial presence through deliberate spatial separation and geometric framing
