Azuma House (or Row House in Sumiyoshi) Mini Brick 住吉的長屋微積木
The Azuma House is also known as "Row House in Sumiyoshi" ( Jap. 住吉の長屋 , Sumiyoshi no Nagaya ) in the district Sumiyoshi of Osaka. It is one of the first and most famous buildings of the Japanese architect Tadao Ando .
The building was completed in 1976 and has the typical features of Andō's architecture, such as the main use of exposed concrete as a building material. The two-storey house, laid out on a rectangular floor plan, houses four rooms that are connected to one another via an inner courtyard. A staircase leads from the inner courtyard to a footbridge that connects the two upper rooms. The inner courtyard, which is open to the top, must be crossed every time you change rooms. The windowless front facing the street is also striking. The only windows face the courtyard. This automatically becomes the center of the house.

住吉的長屋位於大阪市成為建築經典範例，是安藤忠雄的作品，它是一棟私人住宅，以清水模打造建築外觀，正面完全沒有對外窗，住在其內的人彷彿被隔絕一般，然而這棟長方形的建築卻有1／3是沒有屋頂的，整體建築平均分成3塊，中間的區塊就是一個無遮蓋的天井，原意是要住戶從其感受自然。
而客廳則在一進門1樓空間，上方就是主臥室，在天井花園的另一邊1樓，則是起居室，包括衛浴、廚房都設計在此，2樓主臥的對面，則是第二間客房、也做為臥房。
用長方形立面完成的極簡作品，1：1分割的壁面，清水模的板模圓點，將一面枯燥無味的灰色立面添加興味，長方形入口造成的陰影呈現出巧妙的虛實對比，一切是這麼簡單卻精巧。
感受四季是其內住戶的每日日常，建築中間的採光天井，從上方俯瞰又是一個虛實的交錯設計，如同用家中壁面蓋起對外隔絕的圍牆，卻從建築上方貼近自然，低調灰色牆面想大隱於市，卻又在一片屋頂街廓中開出大洞，激進有餘。
