When it comes to artistic impressions, this is one case where it’s really hip to be square. The Natural Cube House by Japanese architects Endoh Design boasts a unique facade of reinforced concrete on a 2,900-sq.-ft. site. The basic cube shape is enhanced with modern steel panels and uniquely uneven walls that create windows in a most nontraditional and unexpected way. As expected from the exterior design, the home’s interior continues on a path of modern minimalism, almost clinical with its white-on-white palette that’s colored only by bold blasts of orange on the ceiling and walls. A barely-there exterior accent, the irregular walls create a contemporary focal point of the interiors, casting an artistic light treatment that flows in through the slits in the walls.
