The kitchen and wardrobe space are situated close to the entrance while the bedroom and bathroom are tucked towards the back of the house, giving the owners more privacy. Apart from smatterings of wood finishings that further emphasize the focus on nature, the whitewashed interior contrasts beautifully with the dark, leafy green wall.
Typical of modest Japanese culture, Home 06 demonstrates that neither size nor money are relevant to classy, inspiring, and sustainable architecture. We absolutely love this design.
