the ‘house at matsubara’ by japanese studio atelier hako architects is positioned on a tiny corner lot, facing a tree-lined street of ginkgos. located in tokyo, the dwelling and its small city block offer a friendly human scale with a narrow road and quiet pedestrian orientated landscape. the structure was built in close proximity to the road boundary to emphasize the edge nature of the site. an almost completely black exterior becomes an elegant background façade for the outdoor activity taking place. ~designboom.com~
