This ultra-minimalist house was designed and build in 2007 in Komae, Japan by architects Makoto Yamaguchi Design. It shows that simplicity is a beauty better than many other house designs. Clean lines with a crisp milky color is everything this house about. Cube shape and few floor to ceiling windows from the outside, what can be more minimal?
Everything that could be are white inside the house. Light additions of wood and black-brown things can’t break the mood.

We already write about one Makoto Yamaguchi Design work. The previous one was also white minimalistic house but in Komae. House in Todoroki is a their early work although it even bigger and looks cool too. It’s also have clean lines, right squares and milky white color inside and outside. Small 2nd and 3rd floor terraces are a very nice decision when the house have such small territory around the house.

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.

Japanese company TNA Architects mostly creates non-standard architecture projects. Although that could be not only unusually shaped houses like surrealistic house but also projects on rough landscape without changing it. Weekend house in Karuizawa is one of them. It was finished in 2008 on very steep slope almost without support. That was possible because of steel frame which connect with the ground on one side. Interior and exterior are made from wood. Like in other TNA projects there is lack of furniture inside which create minimalistic but very comfy because of natural wood interior.
