House in Ajina by Kazunori Fujimoto frames views of Itsukushima Shrine www.dezeen.com

Kazunori Fujimoto Architects & Associates used corner windows for a concrete house with views of the sea and Itsukushima Shrine in Japan's Hiroshima prefecture.
Bedrooms are on the ground and second floors, with the main living spaces slotted in between them on the first floor.
Kazunori Fujimoto Architects intentionally kept the stairwell narrow and dark, in order to emphasise the different ceiling heights of the three floors.
Kazunori Fujimoto Architect & Associates, which was founded in 1998, has recently completed a home in Ashiya with a delicate curved staircase.
