Minimalist As The New Black Home in Japan

Nagoya-based studio Stands Architects (Hiroshi Yokozeki, Yuji Shimiz, Kyoko Ikuta) recently completed a clever modern home entitled ‘House O’ and located in Mie, Japan.

The main feature is the glasses garage in which you can view the inside of it from your garage.

According to the architects, “the sheltered car park serves as a physical extension of the road, drawing in visual focus through a contrasting stark-white finish. a glass partition draws a thin line between the indoor-outdoor boundary, allowing the parked automobiles to be on view from within the house. Pivoting around a central courtyard, the layout is organized in a spiral with varying degrees of privacy throughout.”
