Collective glass house – Japanese co-housing

The building provides a home for the Japanese living in Hungary where they can live their daily lives and help each other surrounded by an environment with elements resembling those of their own culture. The molecular residential capsules are arranged like boxes with communal spaces in-between them. This box-structure is covered with a vast ’glass shell’ affording protection against noise and dust, while allowing in more natural light, generating a pleasant temperature in winter and even providing the opportunity for installing green roofs on the top storeys.
