In Fukuzu City, the Affordance House by Class Archi studio challenges conventional architectural norms. This building, with its unique wave-like form, stands as an intriguing exploration of space and minimalism in an urban setting.

The house's design, reminiscent of a wave, is a thoughtful response to the limitations of a narrow plot. This choice is not just visually distinctive but also practical, optimizing the available space. The selective placement of windows on the house's façade strikes a practical balance between light infusion and seclusion.

Inside, the house adheres to a minimalist ethos. White walls and sparse furnishings define the interior, creating an uncluttered, breathable space. This simplicity extends to the dual-functionality of the house: part living area, part leather-working studio. The design effectively merges these two aspects without compromising on the clarity and purpose of each space.

The Affordance House in Fukuzu City invites a reconsideration of how space is used in urban architecture. Its design, while unassuming, raises questions about the relationship between form, function, and environment in modern living spaces.
