House in Tsudanuma was designed by Chiba-based Fuse Atelier for
a couple in their 40s, who previously lived in an older house on the
site, but chose to replace it with a contemporary concrete home. The three-storey house is located in Narashino, a city 37 kilometres
east of Tokyo, and on a busy road close to a railway station and several
large shops. To block noise and vibrations from the road and maintain privacy for the
owners, architect Shigeru Fuse designed a windowless concrete facade at
the front.
