More than ambition, more than ability, it is rules that limit contribution; rules are the lowest common denominator of human behavior. They are a substitute for rational thought.

Ryue Nishizawa House Tokayo
Moriyama house is located in Ohta-ku, a residential area in the center of Tokyo dotted with single-family houses and
midsize apartment blocks, placed orderly on a
traditional urban pattern that preserves a
typically Japanese atmosphere. Drawing
inspiration from the extremely fragmented
fabric of the capital – a reflection of its fast-paced
growth –, the house reinvents the traditional
concept of the Japanese dwelling by distributing,
on a 290 square meter plot, a group of
independent volumes that include the dwelling
of the owner and, temporarily, five rental
apartments.
To maintain the morphology of the nearby context:
• a suburban landscape characterized by the
repetition of buildings
• on a labyrinth of narrow passageways,
• instead of concentrating the program in a
single volume,
• the space has been divided into autonomous
units that generate between them small gardens
• and interconnected courtyards,
• which act as gathering spaces for tenants
• and enhance the sense of belonging to a
community of neighboUrs.
In spite of being so close to one another, their
privacy and independence is ensured by paying
special attention to
• the form of the precincts,
• the position they occupy in the plot,
• the distances established between them and
• the position of the openings on facade,
always avoiding to place one window right in
front of another.
Each volume, built with thin structural panels
of steel sheet, is set apart from the rest by
size, proportion and number of floors, and can
accommodate from one full apartment to a basic
residential unit.
Currently, the owner’s house takes up a single
volume of the plot,
• distributed in four floors that contain a
study, the living area and two bedrooms.
The rest, drawn up as a group of small precincts
are apartments for rent, though in a future
they will become part of the owner’s dwelling.
Of the five, two of them gather independent
units around a garden;
• the first one includes three isolated volumes that contain a kitchen,
• a living area and the bathroom, whereas the
second links up, after crossing a short path,
• a study and bathroom contained in different
areas.
The three remaining apartments consist of a
three-story volume with a single space per floor
that includes:
• the bathroom,
• the kitchen and the bedroom,
• with another one with two bedrooms,
• living area and roof terrace and finally,
• a small two-story apartment with a bathroom
• and study on ground floor.
