Text by the Architects
Tokyo-based DATAR Architecture designed The Ghost House in Suginami (Tokyo) in 2006. DATAR Architects adopted the archetypal primitive hut-like house.
The house is reminiscent of a blank canvas. It’s all white, except for the floors. All the other architecture elements are White—White on the outside and white on the inside.
However, unlike the image of a child’s simple drawing, they chose to exaggerate the building’s ghostly silhouette, presenting a mute character. By contrast, internal spaces express an eccentric character in response to client requirements. Scaleless from the outside, accommodation is on three levels, with intricate ramps and steps.
