Peter Tonningsen’s Urban Dreams

In the words of the artist Peter Tonningsen:

These images are drawn from my impressions of Japan from a trip my wife and I recently made there to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. For many years I’ve desired to visit this country and I must say that I was not disappointed. The people are incredibly welcome and gracious and the country is clean, organized, and steeped in history and tradition. Because we spent the majority of our time in cities, nothing excited me more than the density of the urban landscape, seemingly filled with signs, people, and buildings everywhere I turned. I hope this work conveys some of the allure of that metropolitan mass and complexity.

The house was planned for a family of four. Two cubes separated by a passage combine into an “L” shaped house. The front cube, of double height space, holds the public areas: entrance, living room, kitchen, dining room (all on the ground floor) and a study on the first floor. The passage, 4 meters wide, continues the patio, which is the center of the house, and separates the public wing and the private wing. The rear cube, (the private wing) has 3 floors: The ground floor holds a living room, two children rooms, a laundry room and a guests w.c. The 1st floor holds the master bedroom, and a bridge passage to the library (on the front cube). The basement is well lightened and ventilated by a large patio, and holds a guest’s room, a safe room, and a storage room.
