Sagaponac Furniture House No. 5 - Shigeru Ban - 2006 - Sagaponac, New York - 2014 Pritzker Award

As the 2014 Pritzker Award winner, one of the highest recognitions by a living architect, Shigero Ban shows his talent by recreating a house based on a concept of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe’s 1924 unbuilt Brick Country House . The use of the furniture storage systems are stealthily incorporated into the structure of the house for support. The sliding glass doors also open to give a seamless integration with the outdoors.
