ombuarchitecture: House in Tousuien Hiroshima • Japan By Suppose Design Office The House of Tousuien is located in a quiet residential area, and it is designed for a couple and 3 children. The three sides of this house are surrounded by other residence buildings, and the shape of the site forces the house to stay long and narrow. Most exterior walls are thick and heavy, where windows are added to balance out the heavy look of the exterior. For the House of Tousuien, we used a thin and translucent material to replace the regular exterior walls, where natural light and be maximized in the interior space. via Archdaily

squeakyletuce: So here is the Minim House. To be honest I’m quite jealous of the person that designed it, as its definitely something I’ve been trying to do for a while on and off. So what do you guys think? Would you live in it? Is it any good? This cost about $30 000. Its around 210ft².  I don’t like everything about this house though, personally I would trade in the front door and windows for full floor to ceiling sliding doors(like skyframe). I’d trade in those bench things for a nice actual sofa, though the table seems interesting. Also I’d make sure I have a closet(so far I don’t see one) and would even trade the book case/shelves for a closet, as I can get by with the library and eBook reader/apps. The bathroom is a wet bathroom(the entire bathroom is the “shower” though in this case the toilet and the outlets are kept dry with a shower curtain on that side). I would personally have put in a bigger mirror and maybe even gotten rid of the bathroom sink, as the kitchen sink would suffice for all of your sink related needs.
