House in Akashi / Akio Isshiki Architects

Textual content description offered by the architects. Once you maintain a seashell to your ear, you hear the sound of the ocean. I ponder who first mentioned that? As a toddler, I discovered it unusual that I may certainly hear one thing like waves crashing. I imagined the supply of the sound deep throughout the spiral, or maybe a hidden gap resulting in a distant southern island. Seashells have a mysterious allure. Their iridescent interiors really feel empty but one way or the other filled with sound, the scent of the ocean, the reminiscence of life, and even layers of time.
