minimalist architecture with a simple design by Shinichi Ogawa
the minimalist architecture characterizes this simple building in white. The house was designed by the architecture studio Shinichi Ogawa & Associates and is located in Tochigi, Japan. The house spreads to 163.93 square meters and was completed in 2012. It only skins one floor and is in a quiet residential area. The design appears symmetrical due to the cube shape in the middle of the building.
minimalist architecture outside and inside the house
The living and dining area is located exactly under the cube shape. The room is 6 meters high and the north wall was designed as a huge library. the minimalist architecture can not only be seen in the exterior design of the house, but has also shaped the entire interior. The lighting was installed in strategic places to achieve a romantic and relaxing effect. A long rectangular window can be seen on the roof, which naturally illuminates the room during the day. Despite the minimalist design, the living room looks very cozy and comfortable.
minimalist architecture is combined with simple design and pure lines
What is special about the house design is the lack of corridors. All rooms can be reached from the central room. The huge garden can be clearly seen through the glass wall of the living room. The bedroom, the study, as well as the children’s room are also directed towards the beautiful garden. The homeowner is a keen reader. That is why the huge wall library was set up. This house is an excellent example of one minimalist architecture with a simple design.
