Mejiro House by MDS

Located in downtown Tokyo, Japan is the Mejiro House designed by architectural firm MDS. Designed to block unwanted views from the street, this cast concrete residence appears as a monolithic block from the outside, but inside is a different story. A light-filled, airy interior stands in stark contrast to the bare exterior and offers its residents a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of life in the Japanese metropolis. Concealed within is a double-storey courtyard which leads into the interior portions of the residence through a massive glass wall. Featuring a color palette of mostly greys, blacks, and whites and utilizing a mix of cement, wood and stone for the building materials, this monochromatic house’s interior manages to exude warmth in spite of its cool colors and materials.
