This pentagonal house was built near Nagoya in a calm village of Thushima in Japan by architectural studio Kazuya Morita Architecture Studio. As the name suggests the geometry of the plan is pentagonal and to that shape also the roof is adopted. The roof is the element the architects mostly concentrated on. The house was designed for a young couple just next to the house of their parents which is built in a traditional Japanese style. The surrounding housing development had to be respected and that is why the pentagonal roof was designed. It not only fits in the surroundings but is also original. The unusual floor plan creates the largest possible open living space. The five main structural walls were set in radially, and they can stick out as extension of the inner spaces. They are cut off only in the centre with the dining table, a place from which everything can be seen. Here, under the peak, the ceiling is high and the owners can enjoy their dishes together with the garden views. The usual materials were used, mostly wood, the material of the whole construction. The white plaster walls together with it create a harmonic space.
