Japanese architecture studio Jo Nagasaka + Schemata Architecture Office have created a real wonder. They have constructed an unbelievably thin family house in the peripheral part of the capital Tokyo reminding of today’s flat screen TVs. Their aim was to create for their client a house that would satisfy all their needs. The challenge was to design something suitable for a small parcel very close to a street. Architects have exceeded expectations by designing a house with a facade built in an angle of 63,02 degree. They have created a very new view at the street from the inside and maximized the inner space. The building itself is minimalistic from the outside as from the inside. The facade is painted white while the predominated element of the interior is concrete contrasting with furniture.
