The Corner House in Kitashirakawa / UME architects
The site is located in Kitashirakawa, Kyoto adjacent to a stream, the Higashiyama mountains with its ?Daimonji? of ?Gozan-no-Okuribi? (a summer event in Kyoto) and has distant views to Hieizan mountains. The site overlooks open-spaces both across the street where the local university has a botanical garden, and adjoining where a children's playground is situated. Together the two open spaces turn the site into a corner block.
