Textual content description supplied by the architects. Yugen, an necessary idea of conventional Japanese aesthetics, is an expression of depth, of what can’t be translated, of the incomprehensible and summary that passes from philosophy to artwork. By the distinction of shadow with the intervals of sunshine produced by the home windows and the illuminated floor of the kitchen, by way of the hidden panorama that finally reveals itself, Casa Yugen makes a non-verbal invitation to the house during which one can glimpse the great thing about the thriller of the universe and our human situation. On the entrance, the curved wall of the doorway corridor, in form and tone, creates an infinite “airplane” on the concave aspect, which hides the panorama earlier than revealing it.



In plan or when considered from inside the environment, it creates a central axis that unfolds the social space with out corners, in an natural method. The water mirror in entrance of the lengthy home windows displays the macro bonsai that appear to drift and the day sky. The feel and pure mild range markedly, creating a brand new panorama with textures of solar and water all through the times. Areas work together in all corners of the ‘L’ plan. The bizarre method during which André Gippi’s Ramona armchair was positioned, communicates with the lounge, whereas the lounge opens onto the anteroom and the kitchen/eating room. The darkish partitions that embrace the atmosphere body the lighted home windows, the portray by Rubens Oestroem, the kitchen, the furnishings, the ornament, the ground and the ceiling, “the sky and the earth”. The chiaroscuro is a useful resource that performs with the idea of ‘Yugen’, during which components are highlighted, hidden and mimicked on the surfaces, in a method that performs with the protagonism of the items; in the lounge the couch and occasional desk merge with the rug that merges into the ground. The darkish bookcase, in the way in which it’s composed, mimics the horizon of the alternative wall, with overturned books, “hidden data”, and the water that can be current within the bar and within the work ‘Ponta do Coral I’ by Alessandro Gruetzmacher.



The ‘false rubber tree’ plant, proportionately massive for an inner house, works as a bodily and visible landmark between the lounge and the kitchen. The selection of large-format vegetation additionally performs with scales. In an idea at all times adopted by the architect during which the pure and the constructed atmosphere, the crops with the view from the window, the pure mild and that of the luminaires ought to mutually enrich one another. The kitchen, with a purist off white and white background, with translucent shelf lighting, evokes mild from home windows it would not have. That is punctuated with the Nile Quartz island, natural and darkish as a monolith that has been appropriated by the home and takes on a perform. In it are the deca vat and drying rack that appear to have been sculpted within the quantity.
