Cadre House by Apollo Architects

The Cadre house designed by Apollo architects is located in Uonuma, Japan, and was built to withstand the hardships of heavy snowfalls in the Winter, as well as the impact of large earthquakes. Proposed by the client, a concrete engineer, the piloti structure permits to stay above the ground, thus snow, and to accomodate the couple’s vehicles and equipment. A small courtyard with a hobby room also lies at the bottom, while the rest is located above. Its wide and abundant windows combined with a large skylight also make the house very bright. The end result with the minimalist furniture is simply beautiful. Enjoy!
