Modern Minimalist Weekend House in Japan

With one view of the sea and another of the garden, the ultra-modern Garden and Sea House by architects Takao Shiotsuka Atelier was designed to frame the picture-perfect panorama. This modern weekend house in Japan is nestled at the center of a plot that’s lower than that of its neighbors. The sunken home boasts a main floor that opens onto the garden and features expansive windows making up a large part of the facade. The rectangular shape of the house is slightly skewed, wider at its sea-fronting side to allow for maximum views from the second floor. Interiors are sun-soaked, thanks to an expansive picture window. Interior walls of glass allow every room to enjoy the same spectacular view of the sea. Both the interior and exterior of the home is minimalist in style, with a predominantly white palette and clean, contemporary lines. Takao Shiotsuka Atelier
