Esse conjunto de apartamentos foi criado por Steven Holl em 1989/91, Fukuoka, Japão. A descrição do projeto pelo arquiteto no seu
site:
The 28 apartment interiors are conceptualized as "hinged space," a modern interpretation of the multi-use concept of traditional Fusuma. Diurnal hinging allows expansion of the living area during the day, reclaimed by bedrooms at night. Episodic hinging reflects change in family over time; rooms can be added or subtracted accommodating grown-up children leaving or elderly parents moving in. A sense of passage is heightened by three types of access, by allowing apartments to have exterior front doors, and by interlocking apartments like a complex Chinese box.
As fachadas ganham um ritmo devido aos diferentes tipos de aberturas.
Internamente os painéis móveis alteram a configuração do ambiente de acordo com a necessidade do morador.
