One of the things I like about this house is its simplicity. It has a rectangular shape with horizontal openings that seem to be carved out of the wooden material. Designed by Japanese architects Masaaki Okuno, this 117 sq. meters single family home is located in Minami-Alps City, Japan.
Natural wooden planks are visible throughout the interior of the house as well as the exterior. The design of this two-story house is minimal and unpretentious; it almost seems as if the wood itself is the main theme of this home, displaying its different tones and layouts for all to see with only several items to keep it company.
