Meme – Experimental House by Kengo Kuma and associates

<p>Check out this wonderful experimental residence in Hokkaido, Japan. Kengo Kuma and associates were in charge of the first experimental house, and in the process of designing, they got a number of clues from “Chise,” the traditional housing style of the Ainu. What is most characteristic about Chise is that it is a “house of grass” and “house of the earth.” While in Honshu (the main island) a private house is principally a “house in wood” or “house of earthen wall,” Chise is distinctively a “house of grass,” as the roof and the wall are entirely covered with sedge or bamboo grass so that it can secure heat-insulating properties.</p><br/><div></div><br/><p>More info visit <strong><a href="http://kkaa.co.jp/works/memu-meadows/" target="_blank" title="Kengo Kuma and associates ">Kengo Kuma and associates </a></strong>and <strong><a href="http://www.archilovers.com/p72400/M%C3%AAme-%E2%80%93-Experimental-House" target="_blank" title="Archilovers">Archilovers</a></strong>.
