Sinopsis

A stunning exploration of Japanese interior design and residential architecture.

Japan Living presents thirty exceptional houses that transcend function and resonate with spirit. Chosen for their inspiring and innovative designs, these homes are special places to dream in. The owners and architects, working as collaborative teams, have created spaces that are quintessentially Japanese.

Crisp, sharp, transparent and light―these designs represent a remarkable burst of creativity in contemporary Japanese residential architecture. Many reflect shifts in the dynamics of Japanese society, while others celebrate self-expression and individuality. All are marked by a return to traditional Japanese materials and design elements, married with present-day requirements such as flexibility, modern kitchens and bathrooms, energy efficiency and thoughtful use of technology.
