RooftectureHH by Endo Shuhei ArchitectsWhen it comes to Japanese architects, it's hard to pick out a favorite, but <a href="http://www.paramodern.com/">Endo Shuhei</a> is gaining big points for his <a href="http://inhabitat.com/bubbletecture-h-by-shuhei-endo/">bold material choices</a> and tranquil interior design. An oldie but a goodie, Rooftecture HH is comprised of four cubes clad in charred timber on a site in Shisho City, Japan. Crowning the center of the loosely arranged wings is a translucent geometric roof made with glass fiber-reinforced panels that flood the home with <a href="http://inhabitat.com/tag/natural-light/">natural light</a>.1
