Ando’s terraced apartments on Mt. Rokko—known also for riding out the 1995 Hanshin earthquake with little damage.
Rather than flatten the hill, stacked terraces and voids create density. Private courts and shared gaps alternate.
Highlights
- Stepped volumes — How does the slope split privacy and view?
- Shared stairs and terraces — Do they feel like alleys?
