Hiroshima Concrete House - Suppose Design Office





Built to complex client demands (the desire for bright and private garden space amongst a busy shopping district) Japanese firm 'Suppose Design Office' focused in the use of 'garden elements' included light and materials to evoke an outdoor experience. "By setting up garden rooms that at first sight make you feel as if you are in a real outdoor garden – despite being indoors – we have created a distinction between the indoors and outdoor". 

Suppose Design Office was established by Hiroshima native Makoto Tanijiri, with a focus on new ideas, the potential of spaces, and the realisation of of fresh ideas not just around architecture but the "relationships of all interactive elements". In doing so the practice prides itself on approaching all projects to whatever scale or cost with the "mind of equivalency". In their approach Suppose Design Office seeks to enhance the human environment and contribute to 'new architecture'.
