About Tower House
The Tower House by Japanese architect Takamitsu Azuma was built in 1966 in a very small plot of land. The house grows around the stairs six levels up to provide 65 square meters of living space. The building has become a fascinating portrait of how Japan society has dealt with the urban and social changes in the last few decades. La Casa Torre del arquitecto japonés Takamitsu Azuma fue construida en 1966 en un pequeño solar y se desarrolla a través de seis niveles hasta construir 65 metros cuadrados de espacio doméstico. El edificio se convierte en un fascinante retrato de como la sociedad japonesa ha trabajado con las transformaciones urbanas y sociales durante las últimas décadas. “When completed it was the “skyscraper” of Jingumae, nowadays it is a miniature house” “Cuando se compléto el edificio era el “rascacielos” de Jingumae, hoy en día es una casa en miniatura” When Takamitsu Azuma moved from Osaka to Tokyo in 1966 he built a house for his family. Designed as a continual vertical room for the architect´s own family, the staircase appears as the most significant structure in the house´s interior. It connects the individual rooms, which are “piled” one on top of the other without any doors separating them. Cuando Takamitsu Azuma se mudó de Osaka a Tokyo en 1966, construyó una casa para su familia que se proyectó como un espacio vertical continuo para la familia del arquitecto y donde la escalera aparece como el elemento que estructura el interior de la vivienda. Conecta las habitaciones individuales verticalmente sin ninguna puerta o barrera que las separe. The triangular plot is positioned directly on Aoyama’s “Killer Street”, in front of Mario Botta’s Watari-um (The Watari Museum of Contemporary Art, 1990). A small public passage is used as well as parking. The daughter of the architect, Rie Azuma, is now living in the house.
