"The
Okamuro House is a mysterious, not to say, hallucinatory combination of a dome
(dropped from the sky) and a suburban house. These two images literally
interpenetrate in a way that recalls the overlapping spaces of Baroque and
Modernism alike. This typical Post-Modern hybrid has been given an extreme
hieratic ordering. There is the split oval, a trompe l'oeil reminiscent at once
of Brunelleschi's use of pietra serena and Nervi's isostatic lines of force.
Geometry and restrained decoration have unified dualities and made the unlikely
combinations appear quite natural"
(1979, Toyokazu Watanabe)
