Japanese Minimalist Home Design

Posted: 28 Oct 2013 09:03 AM PDT

We have features Japanese designs on this blog before, but we never cease to be amazed by the way the simplicity of the style can create a calming space. In both of these houses, from the architects at mA-Style, are prime examples of this. Utilizing different levels, angles, and a contrast of open spaces and cozy nooks, they have created two unique homes that reflect Japanese sensibility and minimalist comfort.
