The Water/Glass House designed by Japanese architect Kengo Kuma for a client at the resort spa town of Atami. The most striking feature of the villa is the oval glass dining room which sits like an island in the middle of an overflow pool on a huge grantite block cantilevered out over the hill. It won first prize in the Residential section of the 1997 DuPont Benedictus Awards for innovation in laminated glass.
