Architects: Takao Shiotsuka Atelier

Location: Saiki-city, Oita, Japan

Client: Private

Project year: 2008

Constructed area: 81.94 sqm

The cottage in the silent village between mountains. We wished to make the silence a space. It seemed to me that the concrete block is a silent material compared with concrete. Silence is made by the thing being alive It becomes coldness if there is no breath of a life there.

The block fit this place nicely. There are no fittings in the opening of the outside wall. Brock was just merely stacked, and the hole was merely vacant there. Quiet scenery exists.

The Necklace House by Hiroshi Nakamura & NAP architects

By Hiroshi Nakamura & NAP architects

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.

Minimalist Japanese Garden Sea House

by Takao Shiotsuka
















This clean white super modern minimalist home was designed by Takao Shiotsuka, a Japanese architect who has recently completed this minimalist house that sits in the middle of a walled compound overlooking the sea.

When it comes to minimalist architecture and interiors, nobody does it better than Japanese architects, they put out a surprising amount of hyper-minimalist work that is cold and sterile enough to eat sashimi off the floor!

















See the minimalist interior design of dining room, kitchen, and living room space which was arranged in one room area that have a great daylight illumination from the big window overlooking the outside view to the garden.

House in Ibara, Japan by Kazunori Fujimoto Architects

A concrete small house designed by japanese architects kazunori fujimoto architects located in ibara, japan for a young couple who left the city and live in this new natural rich farm village. they sought a simple home that contrasted the bustling activity of the city. the home has two bedrooms and a bathroom in its ‘box space’ and living dining room and kitchen in its ‘roof space’.



The roof space is open concept and covered in glass wall on all but one side where it is connected to the box space. this space is enclosed mostly with some windows for light. the building is constructed from cast concrete and has just over 100m of floor space.



The ground floor is space like the one-room of 78.5 square meters. In order to articulate this small space more attractively, box-space and roof-space are connected carefully. If the sliding door of a bedroom is opened, all the rooms serve as one room space, and two spaces are gently connected with the level difference reflecting a site slope.



The box-space sets so that the sunshine and the privacy from the outside may be interrupted, and roof-space is allotted in the direction which faces nature. A parking lot is buried in a site slope by a half , located at the mountain side. Zelkova trees are planted in the yard so that sunbeams shining through branches of trees may be dropped on a house.
