Koshino House was designed in the early '80s for legendary Japanese fashion designer Hiroko Koshino (@hirokokoshino_official) by star architect Tadao Ando. A professional boxer in his youth, Ando was never formally trained yet won the Prizker Prize (the highest distinction in architecture) in 1995.
Ando on how spirituality can be found in the home: "Dwelling in a house is not only a functional issue, but also a spiritual one. The house is the locus of heart (kokoro), and the heart is the locus of god. Dwelling in a house is a search for the heart (kokoro) as the locus of god, just as one goes to church to search for god." #TadaoAndo
