Bird House by Katsuhiro Miyamoto

Katsuhiro Miyamoto Architects recently completed their latest residential project, Bird House. These pictures are from the open house that was held back in April.
The home sits on a sloping site and is comprised of 3 bird-house-like rooms that are connected by ramps. The architectural feat must have been a bureaucratic nightmare. I have no idea how they got the city of Nagoya to sign off on this project but I’m certainly glad they did because it is astonishing.
I thought it was very clever how the ramp mimics the road passing in front and behind the house.
