Hat on the Ridge Residence and Gallery
Hat on the Ridge is a two-story wooden residence with a gallery in Kamakura, Japan. The earthen floor rests directly on the bedrock, and a square pyramid roof covers a pillarless space. The roof is low at its edges and high at its center. Each of the four roof edges is flipped up to open toward a different view: the mountain, the valley, the village and the sky. Four distinct spaces are formed in this way. In the corners, the upper floor is cut through to the ground, connecting the two levels. Antiques are displayed at the scale of daily living.
