Fuma

Fuma is a three-story house in Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan.

Gaps between these elements let natural light and outside ambiance reach the interior. The main living space is on the second floor and works like a single-story home. Reinforced concrete load-bearing walls and unbonded cables support cantilevers of 5.6 meters east and 3.2 meters south. Large glazed openings face the courtyard.
