This small house in Nagoya, Japan was designed by Suppose Design Office in the style of Japanese minimalism. It is the mix of a flower shop, an art gallery and living quarters. The house denies any boundaries between these spaces. Simple white façade is opened to the street and the yard at the ground floor, while the living space placed at the upper levels is entirely isolated from the city noise opening with the glass walls from the opposite side. The side facades as opposed to the main flat one resemble the paper bends of origami. The ceilings are also corrugated at the two lower levels.

The house, named Otake house, was built on a hill, in Japan, which offers an excellent overview of the sea on one side and park on the other side. The authors of the project were already known from other projects architects from Suppose Design Office. Creators of the house used as a traditional building techniques and modern technologies, which together make the house very reliable and give it a little futuristic appearance. Minimalist interiors are decorated in black and white colors, with very little furniture, and almost complete lack of accessories, that?s why rooms are very specious. The house is situated in Hiroshima, which almost did not suffer from earthquake in Japan.

The previously reviewed house by Suppose Design Office had the unique glass roof providing generous illumination and the night sky views. This time they created the unusual solution for specific building site that was on a lower level than the driveway. The house itself is two floors below the parking so you would literally park your car on the roof. The living floors can be accessed from two stairways on the sides of the house. It has only a few auxiliary windows on the facade; however on the backside there are large floor-to-ceiling windows opening gorgeous panoramic views to the city. Typically for Japan the interior of the house is a sober and contemporary one – it’s even a little bit too cold due to concrete walls.

Could you imagine your own town in the house? This unique idea was realized by Suppose design office in Buzen, Japan. Architects offered to turn links and routes between rooms into streets and squares. It creates a magnificent effect changing the habitual relationships inside-outside. The house composed of individual cubes for the kitchen, bathroom, living rooms and bedroom. But the most unusual look was achieved using a glass roof. So you can see stars at night and sunlight during the day. Children will be happy to walk and play in the house like this. To my mind this house is cool and has its originality of design.
