Light and Shadow in a Japanese Apartment

This apartment in Japan was renovated to make the most of its beautiful views and create a unique space.

The architects removed walls to let light in from the south, but they also used the existing structure to create dramatic shadows.

This resulted in a 'Shadows Room' where the darkness and light play off each other, making the space feel mysterious and cool.

The design draws inspiration from Japanese ideas of beauty, where shadows are not just darkness, but a kind of visual poetry.
