'house in ueda' by case design studio, ueda, nagano prefecture, japan all images courtesy of case design studio

in the rural town of ueda, where fields of crops still dominate the majority of the landscape, the residence by case design studio stands as one of the only beacons of contemporary architecture. behind a street-side orchard of pear and peach trees, the orthogonal wooden structure projects vertically with a contrasting skin of naturally finished pine and charred timber planks. at the entrance, where large sliding doors open the living room and kitchento the exterior garden, a void connects the ground floor with the second storey. the horizontal strip window running almost the entire length of the volume emphasizing the horizontality of the immediate site. the layered masses are visually connected in the interior creating several points from which natural light can be reflected off the white walls to every space of the house. the bedroom and office are located on the second floor, separated by the atrium-like element and a linear hallway along the rear axis, offering the appropriate amount of privacy. from the office one can reach the topmost volume rendered again in a natural timber finish that serves as an additional loft and light well with a large window that brings indirect light inside.
