Hasami House is a spatially diverse home. Children grow up in square boxes for bedrooms and living rooms. They go from home to school to more rooms like boxes. Kids feel and act better when they are outside and unrestricted. So this house is designed to simulate a more natural environment.
The walls are not made at 90° angles and some walls are even curved.Not only are the walls interesting themselves, but they work to create unusual shaped spaces for the family to enjoy. The home is essentially one large room with these unusual spaces created within. The kids’ brains are exposed to a different view and experience.
Furthermore, by varying the materials, angles, colours, and sizes of the walls, an environment that is physically and mentally stimulating has been created to keep the family healthy.
