House-T by Tsukano
MIYAZAKE – Located on a busy road in Miyazake, Japan, architect Michiya Tsukano turned a Japanese home into an oasis of minimalist calm.
A wall of white concrete wraps the entire house, blocking the house from the crowd but leaving space for sunlight to enter the inner courtyard, Tsukano says.
White stones create a buffer between the wall and the house's interior, an exercise in simplicity with hardwood floors.
