House with an Empty Lot by ON Design

No other home we have featured on Inhabitat better reflects the changing needs of modern couples than the House With an Empty Lot. Squeezed onto a formerly unoccupied lot in the crowded urban neighborhood of Fujisawa, the interior of the tall home expertly conceived by <a href="http://www.ondesign.co.jp/works/064/#workTitle">Japanese architects ON Design</a> is split in half to ensure that the occupants - a musician and a surfer - can each have their own separate space.
