I’ve been kind of bored of sparse, all-white homes as of late, but this particular home in Okinawa, Japan by Shinichi Ogawa & Associates / Urbanist Architect got me.
The house is basically a long rectangle divided into rooms and spaces by furniture and a wall. The first section is the living room, dining room, and bedroom and another space houses the kitchen, powder room, and office. I like that there appears to be adequate privacy while still having lots of natural light.

Minimal? Yes. Too Minimal? Double Yes.

IMHO the house is too big. It’s not as much minimalistic as it is empty. And I wonder about a wardrobe.

The wall that divides the two spaces has built-in storage.

A bit too minimal for my taste, and I’m not a huge fan of long and narrow spaces, but I definitely like all that natural light.

I wonder if after a few months the people living in this house will have neck problems….

i’m a huge fan of the minimalism movement but this is a bit too much for me, it feels like they live in mars, the natural light is splendid but a bit too narrow for my taste, all in all its pretty awesome.
