Named Hand in Hand House, the cluster of six interconnected cottages are set on a terrace in Karuizawa, central Japan.
The project captivated commenters, with one remarking, “Japanese modern home architecture is far ahead of any other country”, while another described it as “fun and frivolous”.
Other stories in this week’s newsletter that fired up the comments section included a colourful extension by Office S&M, news that China will host the world’s first human versus robots half marathon and an S-shaped bridge in Belgium designed by landscape architect BuroLandschap.
