Late Japan architect’s villa

Capsule architecture by globally renowned architect Kisho Kurokawa (1934-2007) is set to be reborn as an accommodation facility as early as this summer thanks to the creative hands of his 55-year-old son Mikio.Capsule House-K, a cottage in the Nagano Prefecture town of Miyota, which was designed by Kurokawa in 1973, is getting transformed into a lodge to accommodate guests. It is composed of a combination of cube-shaped rooms with round windows, which is reminiscent of Nakagin Capsule Tower, a housing complex in Tokyo's Ginza shopping district known as a representative work of the architect.
