After watching the Art:21 video of James Turrel in thesis class the other day, his work reminded me of this one house that I read about while I was in Japan, although I couldn’t remember anything about it except where I read about it, so after a good while of looking I found it again, only to find that it was done by the same man and that made me laugh. Anyway…

The house is really beautiful and there is a bunch I could say about it, but basically its a more beautiful and Japanese style of the Quaker house he built in the Art:21 video. Centered around bringing the outside in and using these modern lighting techniques and colors/feelings to inform this meditation house. I really like his work, but then again I’ve always liked light focused work.
