The people at Suppose Design Office have apparently been very busy lately. Recently we showed you Nagoya House, the design that literally brings typical outdoor elements inside.

Now Suppose Design Office has created a house in Matsuyma Japan that is more earthquake resistant (a major concern in Japan) due to the structural walls being carefully spaced over the whole floor-plan.

The designer tells us more about their goals, “Matsuyama home was designed for enjoying the view. In the usual way of thinking, there are rooms with a good view and rooms without. By spacing out structurally necessary walls we’ve created a design where a good view can be had from anywhere, but that still possess earthquake resistant elements. This also allows for larger openings, which were difficult with wood frame houses.

This design allows for the viewing of many different scenes, moving beyond the concept of background and foreground scenery, and bringing everything into the foreground. This is type of home we aimed to build.” Read post in Dezeen.
