Switch Box in a House<a href="http://www.naf-aad.com/works/2009/023.html">Naf Architect and Design</a> turned a building full of dead space into a gorgeous Japanese home by inserting a wooden box in the heart of the interior. The remarkable renovation project hinges upon a "switch box" made from deck lumber that moderates traffic throughout the four level building while still allowing plenty of air and light to flow throughout. It even has its own karaoke room!1
