Extreme Architecture, Interiors, Photos Add comments

This uncommon building was designed by Nagoya-based studio stands architects (Hiroshi Yokozeki, Yuji Shimiz, Kyoko Ikuta) and it called the ‘House O’. This is a private residence for a couple in a residential neighbourhood of Mie, Japan. Given the husband’s love for Mini Coopers, the garage serves as a transparent stage for the automobiles while the layout mimics the energy and motion of the road by spiralling up to a loft level in one gesture.
