Nested House N by Sou Fujimoto Architects

Nowadays, there are many great minimalistic house design projects in Japan. I already showed some really nice works by Makoto Yamaguchi Design. If you thought that Todoroki House and house in Komae was cleanly white than you definitely haven’t seen House N project by Sou Fujimato. It situated in Oita, Japan and almost everything inside and outside is milky white.

House N is a house for two plus a dog and have a 3 shells one inside another one. Although the house’ space is 150 sqm and it looks very unsecured from the outside that all very illusory. The outermost shell covers the entire premises, creating a covered, semi-indoor garden. Second shell encloses a limited space inside the covered outdoor space. Third shell creates a smaller interior space. So as a result, living area is quite small but covered from strangers looks.

Ultra Minimalistic House from Japan



This ultra-minimalist house was designed and build in 2007 in Komae, Japan by architects Makoto Yamaguchi Design. It shows that simplicity is a beauty better than many other house designs. Clean lines with a crisp milky color is everything this house about. Cube shape and few floor to ceiling windows from the outside, what can be more minimal?

Everything that could be are white inside the house. Light additions of wood and black-brown things can’t break the mood.
