House HSometimes design decisions are very beautiful, very strange and sometimes truly incomprehensible. In one project, however, designers have put something more. They have managed to do this by building a true masterpiece. House O ‘is the newest project of Sou Fijimoto Architects. This house is designed in the tradition of Japanese minimalism. White walls and open spaces – these are the main characteristics of Japanese design. The structure is very original, but some times cause surprise. For example, the house is designed so that everything that happens inside seen from the street. This is not really in line with domestic comfort and privacy. This may not be very traditional, but for someone like asceticism and minimalist look is the perfect solution. Beauty, style, minimalism and futuristic interior. All this combined with beautiful bright colors and charming furnishings. Really great choice of designs and a very successful idea from Sou Fijimoto Architects.
