Located on a suburban lot in Tokyo, the Office of Ryue Nishizawa (also partnered with Kazuyo Sejima to form SANNA) has a designed a community in the form of a house. Ten individual building units, built from pre-manufactured steel panels, are composed to create a flexible living space housing anywhere from one occupant to six additional renters.

The premise of the compound explores the boundaries of public and private space. Although each individual unit is primarily private, the ample interstitial space lends itself to impromtu interaction, conversations and gatherings between tenants and the occasional passerby.
The floor plans, as well as 360 degree views, can be found at The Japan Architect. Additional information can be found in the Dec/Jan 2007 issue of Dwell magazine.
