i found it. that place made around an existing shed.
i happened across it in the depths of my poorly filed picasa albums.
so therefore sorry, i still can't recall where i got these from,
or who made it. please enlighten me if you know?
i think this is super wonderful space.

edit: a big thanks to tudor who emailed me more information on this house:

the house is by tonoma architects and it's located in hyogo:

sorry i have been a bit haphazard with posting lately.
been very busy at work and at home.
my mum celebrated a landmark birthday,
and my folks are celebrating 40 years of being married.
i am also getting ready to go to japan,
which is keeping me busy.

kes band played yesterday,
at the brunswick festival.
i am going with them on their tour of japan.

my pal foot foot.

  3. Oh this is so nice and spacey! I would love to know where it is and who designed it. Also love to see the floor plan, it looks like it has a really interesting shape if seen from top, like the "hachi" in kanji!

    And oh your japan trip is coming close! I will try to go to one of those dates to listen to KES, so looking forward to meeting up with you :)

  4. hi kate - that is true - it has a peaceful air - maybe because it lives happily beside/around what was already there...no nasty wholescale demolishing...thank you for your nice comment,

    and hi dell - it should be an interesting one:)

    and hi hiki - me too - i have vague recollection i saw it via design boom? but can;t remember architect details...hopefully someone can! looking forward to meeting up !! not far now.

  6. hi bree. How are you?
    I think I have something you would be happy to watch after seeing this building. It is a collection of people's house in Japan on DVD.
    When I finish it, I could send it to you.
