Here is an example of a mountain cabin house perched on a mountainside facing Kanagawa which will surely impress anyone who loves being surrounded by beautiful views. The cabin is designed by the award winning Japanese architecture firm Shun Hirayama Architecture whose architects chose a great location for this wood clad slope house. Its place offers a point for the endless views of the city and the surroundings. A big balcony is taking advantage of the views while sliding doors help the bathroom to peer at the outsides while enjoying privacy and an airy feel. What else?

Oh, did we mention that the living room frames great views and the bedrooms overlook the hill? Hirayama planned all four main living areas in a way to relate to the slope as he wanted to maintain that sense of country in this design. Despite separate these four volumes were overlapped to form a single, connected home, whose country-chic style interior was shaped to fit the terrain form. The natural “forest” feel also prevails indoors, where walls set in diverse angles with various ceiling heights and straight sightlines evoke the sense of walking between in the forest. Especially if you feel the wind that enters into the one-room interior space. It is almost the same as sitting on a natural stump, on a slight level difference.

The interior of the building features 10 different floor levels while in the each space dissimilar shades live. This is how outside is brought inside and the whole atmosphere is one of a natural experience. You know there are no perfect straight lines in nature don’t you?

In other words, to bring the outside into the house the architects used design that relates to the slope in order to maintain the natural experience. For more information you can visit Shun Hirayama Architecture website.
