“With” House in Japan by StudioLOOP Architects
This amazing modern house by StudioLOOP, placed on what it seems a rural setting, has a nice contrast against its surroundings. The rice paddy field on the backyard is a visually relaxing — yet likely functional — touch. The void on the second floor is a great architectural detail –not only providing the first floor with tall ceilings, but providing the second floor with a never-ending interaction with what’s happening down below. The second floor terrace has an almost club-like appearance with its a nook for a DJ table and the speakers facing toward the crowd.

Oh man! I so want to live there.
I love how bright and sleek this house looks.
Totally love the design of this home. Would love to build something like that on Lake Washington.
This is a beautiful house. Was it built from 3 shipping containers?
@Brian I’m not sure, but I don’t think so. The ceilings seem a bit too high for shipping containers and the space seems to wide. Let me know what you find out, though!
What is it with houses from japan – they always seam to isolate from surroundings – like this one on the ground floor level. can anyone tell?
It’s an amazing modern house. I like the white paints inside the house, looks so exquisite. This is my dream house. Plus the terrace so beautiful overlooking at the green surrounding. Love it!
The house was perfectly built. I love it so much! With the wade terrace space. I’m so inspired.
