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.

This great minimalistic house is located in Minami Boso, Chiba. Although it takes only about less than 2 hrs drive from Downtown Tokyo, the site has a beautiful view of the pacific ocean and mountains. The villa was designed for the clients who live in Tokyo. Like many other modern Japanese house designs it has very clear lines and simple forms. Its main concept to maximize visibility of surrounding beauty of landscape an ocean. In order to achieve that, Kiyonobu Nakagame Architect and Associates, who designed the house, made big windows on all house sides.
