Small Home Design Ideas - metal clad house with wood interior


We love Japanese small home design ideas and at just 624 sq. ft., this contemporary compact cottage by architect Toyo Ito packs a lot of character into a small space. This very interesting modern design idea uses a stark contrast between cold and warmth; a cool metal facade and its welcoming, woody interior. From the outside, the steel house features metal panels cladding its walls and roof, with wide expanses of sliding glass blur the boundary between indoors and out. Inside, this small home design is replete with wood, honey toned in the warm and abundant sunlight. The two-storey home features an upstairs loft overlooking the main-floor open concept house plan.
