The Plastic House in Tokyo, 2002 by Kengo Kuma is surprisingly made of plastic: Translucent, golden green fiberglass forms the exterior walls, stairs, and slatted screen walls that define key spaces, lending the interior a pleasant glow during the daytime and a lanternlike ambience at night. In this sense, it is very Japanese: traditional in an unexpected way, synthetic but organically textured.
