Japanese architect Terunobu Fujimori have project japanese home design in Nagano Japan. This house inspired from traditional Japanese architecture and inpiration of Lascaux Cave in France. Some text from Yuki Sumner: Terunobu Fujimori, who has been teaching architectural history for years at Tokyo University, likes to draw inspirations from sources as widely removed from contemporary Japan as possible. He came up with the earthy shape of his first project, Jinchokan Moriya Historical Museum, from reading another architect Takamasa Yoshizaka’s description of a mud hut Yoshizaka encountered on his travel through 1940’s Inner Mongolia. For Yakisugi House, it was the small cave dwelling found near the Caves of Lascaux in France Fujimori encountered on his own travel. The cave idea materialised as the main living/dining room area, which leads to a study, two bedrooms and a tearoom inside a mini ‘tower’. Fujimori also landscaped the generous 1,825 square metres of land, ‘planting’ his ‘green sculpture’ alongside a small hut that serves as a rest house, reviving the old well and redirecting fresh spring water from it through a long bamboo conduit.
Some information about this japanese home design Yakisugi House (Charcoal House) from dezeen, and photographer by Edmund Sumner.
This is an atypical house, especially considering it is a Japanese design. Only through closer examination do you see the Japanese influence of this piece. Still, this looks like a house I would like to live in.
wow… excellent design. Great job, so minimalist. I like this ^_^
Great looking house with apparent japanese taditional values…apertures probably to allow more light to flood in – tall glass panelling at the doorwys to allow the feeling of nature to permeate inside the house but…… will it be a safe house? just wondering…the peculiar design will definitely atract unwarranted attentions…..security wise it doesnt look safe enough…..
it’s so nice…i like the design.. how much does it cost to make it?
that’s incredible.
