Roof Access



My new favorite magazine, Monocle, out of the UK has a photo essay on their site detailing the redesign of a kindergarten in Fuji Japan.

Architects Takaharu and Yui Tezuka joined forces with Kashiwa Sato, one of Toyko’s most respected creative directors to build, and brand, a novel kind of kindergarten in Tachikawa, a suburban area of Tokyo. Monocle’s Asia Bureau Chief Fiona Wilson reports on the Roof House concept.

It’s always interesting to see stuff built in other countries that could never be built in the States because we’re so culturally uptight and regulatory in our thinking. We’ve become a nation of claims adjusters.
