Located in downtown Tokyo’s Nakano, 45 square meters residence has received wide architecture and design media attention and numerous international awards. Mineral House was Designed by architect Yasuhiro Yamashita, who was born in Kagoshima in 1960, he established Atelier Tekuto in Tokyo in 1991. The whimsy of this beautiful residence is a big part of its charm and the way in which the interior appointments the lines of the bathtub, the curves of the waste bins, the wavy length of the utilitarian shelves respond to the lines of the building. This makes the interior seem larger and much less boxy than one would assume from the outside. At the same time, the house is also an elegant expression of modern Japanese minimalism, and an example of brilliant use of a sparse site, a requirement in the tight space of downtown Tokyo. Please check it from some inspirational picture below.
