This sky high house plan by Japanese architecture firm Kimihiko Okada certainly raises the standard of modern living! Designed as a series of platforms with a central interior courtyard, this raised house plan in Hiroshima boasts a distant view of the Inland Sea and Miyajima, and definitely has one up on its neighbors in terms of its height and, in our opinion, design. The home’s levels encircle the central garden below, lined with glass walls on both sides. As you make your way through the subtly spiraling floor plan of the stilt house, this modern home is an experience of light and views, ending with a walk-out to the rooftop deck.
