63.02°, built in a densely residential area in Nakano, Tokyo, is a small building of a SOHO and an apartment for rent. The front road is really narrow, but the next apartment has a big open space between the road and the building. In order to this situation, the facade of 63.02° is inclined 63.02 degrees toward the front road, so that a wide and deep view is acquired. From the large windows that are opened on the inclined facade, you can see neighbor’s cherry tree and the cityscape.

Do you know the exact location of http://japanpropertycentral.com/2011/12/the-polyhedron-house/? I spent half a day looking around Nakano and its environs, bothering numerous Family Marts, and still couldn’t find it. Would be nice to have a tour guide for the bizarre architecture for Nakano, as it seems they keep tacking on new ones.
