Using reinforced concrete, a lot of glass and extruded aluminum rails for the windows, this home by Chiba Manabu Architects features a basement and three stories.
With the backyard is based on the first floor, you can access the top of it from the second floor living area. Since this a Japanese home, you will have the sense of high-end craftsmanship with the amount of wood and various types used. The kitchen and library are separated by a staircase that runs in the center of the home. The banister (even though it won’t fly with US code) gives a very simple uncluttered solution.

I love concrete as a building material. It can look cold but at the same time be transformed into a warm area with just a few pieces of furniture.
Thanks for the link, I’m looking for similar buildings for inspiration for my own shop/house/studio.
