Very odd designed house in Tokyo, Japan

Written by admin on October 2, 2008 – 1:41 am -

This house looks nothing like its neighbors on a hill of Yokohama. It has wild shapes and an (IMO ugly) grey color, large interior space that cannot be used (unless you’re 10 feet tall) but of course looks really modern. The roof which looks as if barnacled lets in light through the glass on the top of the tube-shaped windows that are set avoiding shades and eye gaze of the neighbors… It sure is an architectural achievement but I would definitely hire a better interior designer, because it looks awful right now.

Belgium again - an old barn turned into contemporary home

Look what architect Rita Huys from Buro2, did with an old barn in the rolling hills of Central West Flanders, Belgium! The goal was to maintain the building’s physical and emotional connection to the surrounding landscape and to create an elegant interior with a rustic touch. The result speaks for itself, it looks amazing! I would move in without hesitation!

With five floors and 3230 sq feet they have plenty of space to live in but it looks like they manage it pretty well.
