Traditional Japanese House Design 1

When you hear about Japanese home design, maybe your mind will be directly remember on wood, exotic Japanese garden design, the sound of water trickling and other soothing atmosphere. With contemporary touch, Foster & Partner has designed a home rich in Japanese culture named The Kawana house. This contemporary Japanese home design is a result of collaboration between the Japanese love of harmony and respect for nature and the Western architecture of steel and glass. The result is: beautiful modern Japanese home design with open plan architecture. The exploring Japan culture with a twist, is the perfect definition about this home actually. Nestled on a dramatic stretch of volcanic coastline where long, inaccessible fingers of lava jut into Sagami Bay, the change in levels across the site and the views out to sea are main things to consider in house design.

This home is intentionally built to maximize the beautiful vista found outside and use it close to its potential, and therefore the designer decided to use glass wall and open plan concept. So, full-height glazed sliding doors was applied to capture amazing landscape views around. This site is a lesson how to create the new contemporary Japanese home design. Fulfill the interior with basic furniture with clean strong lines in minimalist style, put some appropriate item that indicate Japanese tradition like statue. You will get your dream Japanese home in totally new way, but don’t forget to use wood material as key trait element. via
