PROJECTS

House Aichi: dynamic architecture and innovative design

A site characterized by an irregular shape due to the diagonally crossing streets, becomes the location for an exceptional house with dynamic forms in Aichi, Japan. This project, designed by Studio Velocity, is intended to meet the needs of couples and families, showcasing how an innovative design can adapt to unconventional starting conditions.

Three buildings built on a hill. Panoramic view of a mountainous landscape

In the Toyama prefecture, Velocity Studio designs between buildings with views of the nearby mountain, which surrounds the site on which they stand, where the mountain is part of the daily domestic scene for those who live there

House composed of six roofs. Open and bright space in the centre and outside facing the surrounding neighbourhood

The house is designed by the Velocity Studio for a married couple and their child. The site is located in a residential area in front of the school path where the school children and the women of the neighborhood pass through.

Residential complex in Japan. Common spaces and design to expand the house

The new residential complex is located along the coast of Aichi. The low population density made it possible for Velocity Studio to make the most of the space and to focus the project on the connection and iteration spaces.
