Transparent House, Japan

To hide from the hectic life and the strangers in your own house is a natural desire of all the owners of the house. It is not so easy in multi-million Tokyo, especially in the transparent house. The specialists of the architectural firm Sou Fujimoto Architects have erected the unique house in one of the lively districts of Tokyo, whose walls are the transparent panels. On sunny days all the rooms of the transparent house are flooded with the light. Its inhabitants have to take care to hide from the foreign eyes.

The spatial design of the transparent house is unique and ultramodern. The space of the house, whose surface is 85 sqm, is divided on several levels, which are connected with each other by fine stairs. In the house there is the modern kitchen, the bedrooms, the excellent recreation zones with panoramic windows. The dominant color of the interior is white. The architects preferred exclusively natural materials - wood, glass and metal. The book shelves and the other pieces of furniture are made of birch, the floor and stairs were also made of natural wood. At any moment, the housekeepers can make the atmosphere private and quiet, for which the huge windows are equipped with the roller shutters.

The transparency of the exterior walls of the house is not its only peculiarity. In the design, the designers have used many plants. Such a natural 'approach' is not accidental. The designers have devoted the original project to the ancestral inhabitants of Tokyo, who erected their houses on the trees in the dawn of civilization. Next - Smallest House in the World
