Japan is a country of mystery, what can you do there?TV shows are on hold. But as it turns out, the interiors are no less interesting. You won't find any familiar things in this quite residential building, and you'll hardly be able to imagine how you can live surrounded by flat wooden surfaces. But there is something in this project. If only we could understand what else…
Japanese minimalism is not enough for the Russian broad soulunderstandable. Well, can we really imagine a cozy home without a soft chair, a sofa without pillows, a floor without a carpet? But the Japanese can not only imagine such a thing, but are even capable of ordering such an environment for their private homes.
This is roughly what a middle-aged couple did,by contacting the Tokyo studio Atelier Kukka. The owners bought a small house - only 67 meters - located in a dead end of one of the blocks, and, in fact, wanted very little from their new home: a beautiful facade and several well-placed windows so that it would be convenient to watch the cherry trees bloom on the street.
The architects covered the facade with red cedar andcut an exhaustive number of windows. The interior of the two-story house is an architectural composition of a huge number of planes perpendicular to each other.
It is not so easy to navigate the layout and understand the functional purpose of a particular zone, but, in our opinion, the architects managed to achieve the main goal - the clients are happy.
