Home Design Interior

Modern Japanese home architecture never ceases to amaze us – this contemporary style house located in Nagoya, Japan was designed by Suppose Design Office. A minimalist exterior is a simple, white box, with few details and glazing gracing only the ground-floor facade. That is, until you make your way around the other side, where you’ll be surprised to find a tri-level balcony that open each floor to the outdoors. As a result, the interior of this Japanese house is flooded with natural light. The open-concept architecture incorporates a living area, kitchen, bathroom and utility areas, all focused around a contemporary central spiral staircase which winds its way to the top of the home

Bringing light into this long plot was an important consideration. A large air well divides the two sections of the house allowing for maximum light to penetrate the living spaces. Aluminum wall cladding wraps around the void. The aluminum bands reflect light into the living spaces.

The void acts not only as a large light well but also encourages natural ventilation within the house.

The intricate linear bands are a modern contrast that reflects the traditional ornate façade. This metallic architectural language used throughout the scheme emphasizes a unity within the spaces. The subtle tones and metallic elements complement each other to create a common theme throughout the house

Designed by Alienology, a design and CGI studio based in Los Angeles, the “Bloom Lamp,” as indicated by its name, blooms like a flower to brighten your place. Employing the latest digital manufacturing techniques, such as laser cutting and water-jet cutting, the custom built lamp is available in eurolite plywood, hardboard and acrylic finishes
