IGArchitects adds pyramidal concrete home to sloping site in Okinawa

Japanese studio IGArchitects has completed the Pyramid Hut, an angular, concrete home nestled into a sloping site in Okinawa.

Influenced by the home's site, which backs onto a cemetery, IGArchitects designed the pyramidal home as a "closed structure" to distance the residence from its surroundings.

As such, the home's concrete exterior is defined by window-less facades and crowned with a glazed roof – with its shape and materiality also chosen to withstand the city's climate and encourage longevity beyond its current use.
