i really admire how japanese architects are able to create clean space from a small lot area.
i notice that there is no storage room. it looks nice when empty but where do you hide your stuff?

House is beautiful, but their neighbours will not enjoy it very much, especially those whose balcony is now useless. Aren’t there some kind of regulations against converting public streets into private lots?
