This white modern concrete box shaped house design is the latest residential architecture project created by japanese architects, Sou Fujimoto Architects. This Minimalist House H in Tokyo, Japan is a complex responses to contemporary needs that combines a balance between volumes, spaces and light.

Dealing innovatively with Japan’s strict plot ratio regulations, Fujimoto has avoided the conventions of creating a courtyard or of setting a house as an isolated object within the site boundary. Instead it is a hybrid; a series of boxes in boxes that define domestic realm, enclosure and interior.

This Wall Less House was designed and build by Tezuka Architects. This modern minimalist japanese house design is located in Setagaya-ku, Tokyo, Japan with 255.19m2 site area and 239.91m2 total floor area. The great lighting design of this japanese residential design was designed by Masahide Kakudate (Masahide Kakudate Lighting Architect & Associates, Inc.)



The Wall Less House Japan is supported by a central core and a pair of extremely thin columns. The absence of walls on the ground floor allows the internal space to extend to the garden on 360 degrees. The house stories consists of basement area and 3 floors. Construction project was done by Matsumoto Corporation and the construction period takes 8 month from start to finish ( April 2000 - December 2000 ).

The Necklace House is a beautiful home designed by japanese architects Hiroshi Nakamura & NAP architects in Obanazawa Yamagata, Japan. Its main attraction , besides the unusual shape, is the bathroom. Thats simply because it has 16,000 windows! this is amazing and pretty impressive. This special feature as well as the house’s C-shape and the interior gardens gave the very special necklace-like continuity to the house.



















The house is C-shaped because of the client’s request to make an open living, integrated with the garden. So this shape keeps it all in touch with the surroundings in complete privacy. The rooms were placed higher above the ground because the area’s snowfalls reach 2m.


















Rooms spread along the walls and one of them is connected to another diagonally behind the wall. Also, in the house, small gardens allow the connection between rooms. I loved the idea of bringing the nature inside the home as well as lighten it up with huge windows. It takes the cube feeling away from the construction.
