Corrugated House / monotrum

Hotel in renovated house made of corrugated pipes. The project is to renovate a structure made of corrugated pipe, a civil engineering material, into an accommodation facility. This building was built by Kenji Kawai, a facility designer, as his own residence in 1965. It has been selected by DOCOMOMO as a Modern Movement building in Japan. In renovating the building, we sought to preserve it not as a static cultural asset but as a place where visitors can experience the architecture through the experience of staying overnight.
