Deep in the woods of Karuizawa, in the Nagano prefecture of Japan, this amazing double-elliptical holiday retreat, features lots of space and is made of reinforced concrete and wood to preserve the Japanese “traditions”.

Modern Japanese Architecture Remains the World's Most Unusual ...

Despite its name, A-House is not just “a house.” A fine example of modern Japanese architecture, this contemporary single-family house in Setagaya, Tokyo was designed by Hiroyuki Fukuyama, who had an innovative vision for the modern home. Located in a dense urban center, this 1,150-sq.-ft. home stands apart from its neighbors. From the outside in, this cool architecture is inspired – by technology, by contemporary city living, by beautiful shapes and the modern materials that make this design such a stunning showpiece. The reflective facade is complemented by the unique, irregular silhouette. The shape also transforms the interior spaces into artful creations. Simple black beams crisscross the rooms, impossibly balancing the asymmetrical ceilings at a single point. Shape is definitely the centerpiece of this house, and it shines against a clean, minimal palette of white. Strategically placed windows appear as shards of light and sky. Sleek touches add a futuristic element, like the high-polished floors in the kitchen, the modern fixtures, and a simple white staircase that leads up to the floating loft area overhead.

Modern Japan Architecture by Terunobu Fujimori - Unknown Japanese Architecture

The unique Yakisugi House in Nagano, Japan, blends modern design innovation with traditional Japanese architecture and a French inspiration, for a truly one-of-a-kind house design. As a teacher of architectural history, it’s interesting that professor and architect Terunobu Fujimori prefers to stray from contemporary Japan in his own modern residential designs. For Yakisugi House, the inspiration came from the compact cave dwellings near the Caves of Lascaux in France. The cave concept comes to fruition in Yakisugi House in the main living/dining area, which leads to the study, two bedrooms, and the home’s crowning glory – a tearoom hidden in a mini tower at the top-front portion of the house. This unusual residential design comes clad in charred cedar boards, and surrounded by 1,825m2 of landscaped property, sculptural plants and a spring-fed stream.

Japanese Traditional House in Carlsbad, CA – a modern escape into the world of old Japanese tradition

Wabi House is an understated, down-to-earth residence inspired by time-honored Japanese design. Located in Carlsbad, California, this contemporary home designed by Sebastian Marsical Studio is described by the architects as “a modern and introspective take on an old tradition.” Street side, the house is barely visible through a densely planted garden, which conceals the home from the public view and offers a secluded escape from the outside world. Past the entrance, the home itself sits on a slightly sunken plot, enhancing its sense of retreat. The house structure is placed on a raised platform, accessed by a bridge (or 'engawa') which leads over a pond and to the 'genkan', a red-lacquered volume where tradition dictates that the shoes be removed prior to entering the main house. At the heart of this sunken property, the home’s main floor is enclosed in glass, offering an earthy view through the floor-to-ceiling windows that can be folded to open up the interiors to the outdoors. The interiors on the main level include "a low heated table and tatami mat floor in the open dining/living area as well as the traditional Japanese bath known as an ofuro bath." Upstairs, the master bedroom boasts access to a spacious rooftop garden. Rich woods are the predominant material, giving the house a warm, rustic yet refined look.
