Gen-an House

Gen-an (Fantasy Villa) house, Shinshiro, Aichi Prefecture, Japan, designed by Japanese architect Osamu Ishiyama in 1975.

Ishiyama used unconventional and industrial materials for its construction, such as giant corrugated steel tubing typically used for civil engineering projects. The house was inspired by a monk’s minimal dwelling cell.
