Located in Oita, Japan, the unique House N design by Japan’s own Sou Fujimoto Architects is modern to the nth degree. Like a Russian doll, this ultra contemporary residence is comprised of three shells of graduated size, and layered to create a nested effect. The exterior shell encompasses the entire house and grounds, with a series of windows opening to the outside and to the sky. The second skin of the house further encloses the interior outdoor areas. The third shell houses the residence in the traditional sense of the word, with room for two and a dog. The trio of walls creates an enhanced sense of privacy from the street, while the unique and multiple windows maintain a relationship between indoors and out by allowing plenty of natural light and ventilation.
