Tiny Timber Unuo House in Japan Has a Tall Narrow Entrance and Wide Western View

Experimenting with <a href="http://inhabitat.com/small-space-living-tiny-house-trend-grows-bigger/">small-space management</a>, <a href="http://www.sasaki-as.com/">Katsutoshi Sasaki &amp; Associates</a> gave the tiny Unuo House in Japan a tall and narrow entrance that gradually slopes down to a wide and flat single story. The soaring double-story entrance frames the eastern perspective and then steps down to the home's horizontal wing, which features floor to ceiling glass doors that open out to the west.
