House T by Suppose Design Office is a "cave-like" concrete house in downtown Tokyo

Architect Tanijiri Makoto of Japanese studio Suppose Design Office has created a monolithic concrete home for himself and his family in Tokyo, featuring dark living spaces that open onto a sheltered terrace.
Suppose Design Office has so far created more than 150 houses, but its founder never believed he would be able to build one for himself due to the extremely high cost of land in central Tokyo.
Makoto was living in rented accommodation in Tokyo when he decided to start looking for an affordable plot in the city on which to build his House T.
Video is by Toha.

The videographer and composer deserve as much credit as the architect! 🤗🤗🤗

[@julianochan13]

Stunning home ... calm and peaceful. I love everything about this space.

[@Barrrt]

Batman approves.

[@Ramdas_Devadiga]

The scene at 2:18 made me fall in love with this project.

[@ghosteh._6416]

This is my ideal home. Im glad there are people like me out there who take comfort in more cave-ish places other than me.

[@sunshine-yb7no]

저도 기뻐요...^^... 거의 모든 인류가 동굴 케이브에서 역사를 시작한 흔적이 남아서일꺼예요... 님 내부에서 그 흔적을 기억하는 걸 지도요... 자신만의 동굴... 이데아...아시잖아요... ㅇWㅇ...응...ㅎ 2024.1.20.토 6:46pm

[@katejumawan9973]

this is so beautiful *cries in brutalist*

[@johnmoon5112]

XD I was about to say the same thing

[@rohansingh1860]

brutalism is synonym of depression basically

[@theskilledgoddessgallery]

Reminds me of that house from the Korean movie "Parasite".

[@RioMuc]

I prefer the one in the film though.

[@roynaba7669]

This house looks like a rich depressed lonely soul lives there. I like it btw

[@RioMuc]

I agree with you. It's definitely too dark. But the interior design and furniture are beautiful. Still wouldn't like to live there.

[@marcgoodman4561]

It looks like its an abandoned drug den from the drone shots. Does the designer have a heartbeat?

[@MadgedeBellwether]

If that's your thing fine - personally it would drive me mad. I've always been a fan of Georgian architecture with high ceilings and large windows so the contemporary buildings I like feature much the same; this love of light has only increased as I've got older.

[@JESUSISLORDforevermore888]

Absolutely. I love windows in my bathroom and kitchen too. Like they say Everything was NOT made for EVERYBODY

[@ifitistobeitisuptome]

I love the concept of this house, I would sell my granny to have a place like this myself.

[@nimmypriya9052]

tf

[@MrPelikan500]

beautiful project ... beautifully shot & edited video ... music transfered great emotion *architect himself is the best client to have* - no compromises on intent & execution :-D

[@richardjones2455]

Ok, now this is absolutely fantastic! I want one.

[@jamielucas2772]

More like a post apocalyptic house to me

[@MarjaVainio]

Who's music is this? Beautiful...

[@honza3304]

Natural light is not just a matter of personal preference. Humans need it. What may be deceiving in this video is that modern cameras are pretty sensitive, so it doesn't look as dark as it is. Houses shouldn't be built as statues, but rather reflect and support life with its full complexity. This is a teenage fantasy pretending to be a house. Sorry for the rant. Here is another dark house, but maybe a little bit less dark, while still brutalism .. kzbin.info/www/bejne/j57Xq36un86nq6s

[@ZephZero]

Like a Fortress of Solitude

[@wilsonchen2637]

can someone teach me how the exposed concrete is being seal from the rain?

[@eandean]

This house is called ‘Mind Yo Damn Business‘

[@sposo]

definitely better tha the average american home owned by hoarders

[@BadAtPickingUsernames]

It looks like an abandoned construction site. I’m sure the neighbors love the eye sore. At 0:32 you can really see the damage it does to the street. I guess it’s the type of building that makes children avoid the street, so it might help reduce congestion.

[@JimOverbeckgenius]

Bunker sterility called The Concrete Kimono.

[@matthewwilliamson6229]

This is pretty much my dream home. On top of that it’s in Tokyo, one of my favorite cities.

[@roannesmudgie6376]

I dont know if i'll feel serenity or gloomy

[@jbri1]

What type of concrete is it?

[@dinsdaleblue]

Looks like something from the maginot line. I love it!

[@roboryx8104]

Needs some sunlight

[@petroniaskho]

A prison cell with some trees. This can't be good for the soul.

[@sposo]

I'd love a 200sq m prison cell like this one

[@AliasHSW]

COVID lockdown sanctuary cave

[@gravedigger1187]

rubish!

[@emanueltortolayugarte4166]

Música?

[@alecgarcia9485]

Classic and avantgarde at the same, timeless ❤

[@Bro_Miftah]

beautiful home, brutalism concept,. big like

[@andreacarolina221]

i'm saving this XD i love it and it would be super practical to me because i'm autistic, i have overtly sensitive to certain stimuli including sunlight and this kind of design would be a dream

[@koffi_duck]

[@williamfahey6066]

Wow, What a place. The Fireplace give it a reality, and is Beautiful. Jeff

[@nickvsarch]

The outdoor shower is very beautiful!

[@sevyntennyson4181]

Concrete is horrible for the environment I wish ppl would stop using it plus its disgustingly fugly af

[@JESUSISLORDforevermore888]

Depressing. DREARY. LONELY. SAD. INTROVERTED. YUK, I would think that those into GOTH would like a place like this, but THIS is not my “cup of tea”.🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

[@carmelocarmelo4613]

Bro thinks he's the only person alive

[@ychongong4680]

So cold...

[@Robsav-yx6vi]

Ugly. Box of cold dark depression

[@kerwine2542]

it’s called aesthetic

[@smsm-ri4hi]

Beautiful design and beautiful video

[@hl8655]

This is really my type of aesthetic. Love this concrete heavy house. ❤

Batman tiny house?

[@sunshine-yb7no]

건축은 천편일률적일 수 없습니다... 사람이 다르듯.. 기호도 다르고 취향도 다르고... 건물도 달라야 정상 아닌가요..? 나님은 개인적으로 이 취향도 매력적입니다... 아주 좋다고 인정 받았다고 다 같은 디자인의 옷을 입어야 한다고 생각하시는 건 아니시지요...? 다른 취향이라고 화낼 일인가요...? 너 오늘 그 옷...아니다...얘... 내 취향 아니야...그러시지 않을텐데요... ㅇWㅇ...응....ㅎ 2024.1.20.토.6:59 pm 마음에 안드시면 선택 안 하시면 됩니다..조용히... 아...발전을 위한 토론 자리에서는 의견을 이야기하셔야지요...

[@oltedders]

What a dreary hole! Why would anyone fill such a dark place with so many black surfaces and finishes? Bleak House. 👎

[@Robsav-yx6vi]

Depression Design. Cold moody sharp edges . Scene nicer Parking lots.
