An Angular Home Made Of Recyclable Concrete By Atelier Tekuto

- Charmaine Li
Designed by Japanese architecture studio Atelier Tekuto, ‘R-Torso-C’ is an angular exposed concrete home located in the heart of Tokyo. Working within tight space constraints, the architects cut away at the building’s corners and installed triangular windows to create a unique geometric structure. Additionally, the concrete used throughout the four-story building is completely recyclable and has been mixed with volcanic ash typically found in southern parts of Japan.
