Old Architecture Looks Like In Japan (30 Pics)
History, although not always correct, is very important to our society. Without it, there would be no traditions to follow today, culture to appreciate, or memories of our ancestors that we can learn so much from.
Instagram account Japan Property Central shares a really important part of history—architecture. Their photographers travel around Japan, capturing the oldest buildings and how they look. How they’re being used today. Many of them have been repurposed to be something else, like hotels, shops, or even homes.
The buildings are really beautiful and unique. The way they harmonize with the modern world around them is an amazing sight to see. These buildings are like monuments of history, a portal which transports you to old times.

We got an interview with Zoe. She told us the main goal behind these photos: “To share the interesting buildings and homes in Tokyo and other parts of Japan, and the history and stories behind them. The older homes may be at risk of being demolished and redeveloped, so I want to try and document them while they are still standing. Sometimes I am too late.”
“A tatami shop in Tsukiji, Tokyo. Built sometime in the 1920s or 1930s, and still seems to be operating today. The building is a great surviving example of the pre-war shophouses found in Tsukiji and around Tokyo’s other historic merchant districts. If you look at the roof line you can see a line of windows showing a 3rd floor or attic that may have been added at a later date.”

Here’s how Zoe got into photographing these buildings: “Out of necessity. I run a real estate brokerage and the property photos we receive from listing agents do not always show the property in the best possible light. Many times there are no photos at all. Many of our buyers are foreigners and expect high-quality photos before they will decide to inspect a home or apartment, especially if they are flying in from overseas. Often I will have to go and take the photos myself. I am still very much a beginner at photography.”
“The entrance to the Edo Senke tea ceremony estate in Ueno, Tokyo. The buildings are historic, having been shifted here from a Daimyo’s mansion in the 1860s. Wooden tea houses are relatively easy to dismantle and relocate, and it wasn’t unusual for old buildings or even parts of them to be moved and reused. It still happens today on occasion. When people talk about Japan’s scrap-and-build approach to buildings, they are not referring to the traditional construction methods that last centuries. Alas, the grounds of this estate are privately owned and not open to the public.”

“Futaba Sushi, Ginza. First opened in 1877. The current building dates from the 1950s. Note the sushi ‘yatai’ cart built into the ground floor, right in the center. Sorry, no photography allowed inside the restaurant.”
japanpropertycentral Report
Zoe shares the difficulties she runs into while capturing the photos: “Trying to get a shot without a car or van blocking the building. I usually wait until there are no pedestrians or cars in the frame. It might only be a few minutes, but other times I have to come back later. Another challenge is that the streets are often very narrow (some streets are just 2 meters wide), so you need a wide-angle lens for some locations.”
“Gion Shirakawa at dusk. This laneway is a cobblestone shortcut near Shirakawa River. If you follow it you’ll end up at Shijo Street.”

“Kiyomizu-dera Temple and its hinoki wood stage. Founded in 778. I wonder if this is the quietest it has ever been in its 1200 year history. The main hall and stage were built entirely without the use of nails (or screws) in 1633. The wooden foundation pillars below stand 13 meters tall and are made from 400-year old trees.
The main hall was covered in scaffolding for over three years while the roof was redone, and only just removed in February 2020. It had been 50 years since the bark-thatched roof had been replaced.
Many of the buildings within the temple grounds date from the mid-1600s. There were a few fires up until that point that had destroyed the even older structures.”
japanpropertycentral Report
“In my free time, I like to explore different neighborhoods and share some stories about the interesting buildings I find along the way. If I have an afternoon or an evening free, I’ll go for a walk around all the back streets of a neighborhood in search of some interesting buildings. You are almost guaranteed to find a few no matter where you go. Sometimes I will have a particular house in mind, or be in the neighborhood checking out listings for sale and use it as an opportunity to explore a little and take some photos.”
Here is how Zoe describes her style: “Chaotic. The city is just a jumble of power lines, street signs, bicycles, and construction. I would love to take clean and uncluttered photos but I am realizing that it is impossible in Tokyo. I no longer notice all the transformer boxes and power lines anymore.”
“Once Upon a Time. A bar in a historic brick storehouse in Yushima, Tokyo. Built sometime in the late 1800s. The bar owner has been renting this space since the mid-1970s. Downstairs has a bar counter and tables, while the 2nd floor has an event space.
Not sure how much longer this historic building will remain standing. The property owner wants to demolish it rather than repair it, with news of its potential future demise first reported back in 2013. Last year there were stories that it would close in 2022.”

“An old shophouse alongside the Ikenoue Shopping Street in Tokyo. This would have once had a shop on the ground floor, but has been converted into a private residence some time ago.”
japanpropertycentral Report
“It has always been a personal interest. There’s an assumption that Tokyo is a big metropolis of shiny glass buildings and neon lights, but it’s a very old city with lots of more humble, older, and traditional streets that don’t get featured in the tourist guides. Something is charming about them, especially when they have a very worn patina and are lived-in and cared for,” said Zoe about how she came up with the idea to photograph old buildings.”
I started putting more effort into my company’s Instagram account about three years ago. I still have a very long list of places to share and neighborhoods to visit. I don’t think I will be stopping any time soon.”
“The Ogawa Dorayaki Store alongside Asakusa-dori Avenue. Dorayaki is made from two pancakes or pikelets with red bean paste filling. This little shop was a hold-out, and is now sandwiched between a 13-story office building on all three sides.”
japanpropertycentral Report
“This shophouse was built in 1918 as a hardware store. At a later point it housed a bar and restaurant but has sat vacant for the past few years.”
japanpropertycentral Report
“There’s something about living in a constantly evolving city like Tokyo that is very energizing and motivating. There’s always something to see or somewhere to visit. It’s also a very safe and clean place to live, and it is incredibly easy to get around by train with no need for a car. Some of the architects and building designs are among the best in the world. My favorite ones are the weird and unusual homes often built on tiny plots of land in the middle of the city. You have to be very creative to come up with some of the designs, especially when the land itself might be just 50 square meters in size.”
“Café Sakanoshita – a charming place inside a 90-year old renovated kominka house. Closed on Mondays. Unfortunate timing!”
japanpropertycentral Report
“Tenyasu Tsukudani, a store selling simmered and preserved food since 1838. This shophouse was built in the 1920s. The streets would have once been lined with buildings like this.
This part of Tsukuda has a history going back 400 years, and is where the traditional tsukudani preserved food originated.”
japanpropertycentral Report
Here is what inspires Zoe: “Being able to continue to connect with all kinds of wonderful people who are also into Japanese architecture, new and old, and who like to explore different neighborhoods. The most unexpected and fun part is seeing sketch artists in other countries create amazing artwork from photos I posted.”
“Tsuruse traditional inn and kaiseki restaurant. Built from Hinoki cypress wood in the 1920s~1930s, but the restaurant has been operating even longer. The outdoor terrace dining deck along Kamo River is the largest of its kind in Japan, seating over 200.”
japanpropertycentral Report
“The Philosopher’s Path (or walk). A peaceful path alongside the Biwa Canal. The historic canal was completed in 1890 and the 1.8-kilometer long walking trail was completed in 1968 thanks to efforts by local residents. It was named to honor Nishida Kitarō (1870-1945), said to be Japan’s most influential and significant philosopher of the 20th century. He would walk along this path each day on his way to teach at Kyoto University. He later moved to Kamakura, and his home there has been preserved to this day.”
japanpropertycentral Report
Zoe gives some advice to photographers and artists out there in the world: “It’s okay if you don’t know what you are doing or don’t have a particular goal with what you are currently doing. Do what makes you happy and gives you the most joy creating. Maybe it will lead you somewhere?”
“Tea House ‘Go-an’ by Terunobu Fujimori. Part of the Pavilion Tokyo 2021 / Tokyo Tokyo FESTIVAL being held in connection with the 2020 Olympics. Fujimori is known for his creative and often elevated tea house designs that are far from traditional. This one resembles a ‘yagura’ watchtower with a grass-covered base (the same turf used on race tracks) and burnt cedar walls. The ceiling is decorated with crushed cedar pieces. To enter, you must crawl through a small circular door at the rear and climb a ladder to the tea room upstairs. The tea house is a temporary structure and will be disassembled when the exhibit ends on September 5, 2021. Viewing the interior requires advance bookings.”
japanpropertycentral Report
“This group of three shophouses in Nihonbashi was listed for sale a little over a month ago for ¥149 million (US$1.35 million), and appears to have already sold, if the removal of all of the online listings is any indication. That means demolition is likely looming.
The terraces date from the 1920s or 1930s and are on Chuo City’s list of early 20th century modern architecture. Sadly being on that list, or having any type of official heritage recognition, doesn’t provide any legal protection to prevent these historic buildings from being demolished. A few from the list have been torn down in recent years, and more will follow. They are a wonderful example of kanban-kenchiku (#看板建築), or billboard style architecture.
The terraces sit on 92 sqm of commercially zoned land, and some suggested redevelopment plans for a 13-story block of 17 units with a potential gross yield of 8% have been provided. That’s a hugely impressive yield and a very low price for land like this. There’s a good reason, too – the land is leasehold. It’s the old, and almost perpetually renewable leasehold type, and the landowner is a major real estate company, so there is some stability with that type of landlord.
The majority of land in Tokyo and across Japan is freehold, but occasionally you might encounter a leasehold property. It’s really important that you fully understand the costs, pros and cons, and legal entitlements and obligations that come with leasehold properties, as they can easily be a source of disputes and troubles for the inexperienced.”

The author tells us more about herself and her journey: “I first moved here about 15 years ago, after growing up in a rural part of Australia. I first got involved in the real estate industry in Japan in 2008 and opened my own real estate brokerage company in 2014. I did not speak any Japanese when I first moved here but studied for a long time after I arrived. You need to be fluent to work in real estate here as all of the sellers and agents will only speak Japanese, and all of the documentation and legal explanations are also in the Japanese language only.”
“The Yasaka Pagoda in Hōkan-ji Temple, Kyoto. First built in 592. It was destroyed in a fire in 1191 that broke out after a dispute between Kiyomizu Temple and Yasaka Shrine and had to be rebuilt. In 1291 it was struck by lightning and rebuilt in 1309. It was lost again to a fire in 1436. The current pagoda dates from 1440, making it 581 years old. The foundation stone for the central pillar of the pagoda is said to be the original one from over 1,400 years ago.”

“Fujiya Ryokan and its ‘kawadoko’ river floor dining set up for the hot summer months. These floating floors first appeared over the Kibune River in the 1910s~1920s and have become a summer tradition ever since. Several restaurants and ryokans along this section of the river set up these tatami dining areas each year.
Fujiya Ryokan has one of the longest histories in the area, having been founded in the 1830s~1840s. ”
japanpropertycentral Report
“If you do get the chance to visit Japan in the future, don’t be afraid to skip some of the over-touristy areas and explore some of the more local neighborhoods. Instead of Shibuya Crossing, for example, I would go for a wander to try all of the coffee shops around Yoyogi-Koen, a 15-minute walk north, or head a few stations over to Shimokitazawa for some vintage clothing. If you are into old architecture, there is the Edo-Tokyo Open-Air Architectural Museum in Tokyo and the Meiji-mura museum in Nagoya (highly recommended!). Otherwise, you can still see a few old buildings around Tokyo’s former merchant districts like Tsukiji and Nihonbashi.”
“The offices of a prune company near Shibuya Station. Designed by Yuzo Nagata on behalf of Takenaka Corporation and built in 1985. The facade is clad in small granite tiles. Nagata founded his own architectural practice that same year. His works are often statement pieces with detailed tiled facades. Several of his designs are large private residences, including one in Omotesando.”

“The former home of actor Denjiro Okochi, famous for starring in many samurai-themed movies. His two-hectare estate sits on the hillside just above the Arashiyama bamboo path and has sweeping views over Kyoto City. His main residence pictured above is called Daijokaku. It was built by Sukiya-zukuri master Kaichiro Usui and was completed in 1941.
The grounds are open to the public as the Okochi Sanso Garden, with an admission fee of ¥1,000 per person.”
japanpropertycentral Report
“The Toranomon Osaka-ya Sunaba Soba Restaurant. The current building was completed just before the 1923 Kanto Earthquake, although the restaurant itself has been operating since 1872. It was registered as a Tangible Cultural Property in 2011.”
japanpropertycentral Report
“The entrance to the Ro-an Teahouse in Shōsei-en Garden. The gate leads to a tea garden and represents the delineation of the serenity of the tea ceremony and the chaos of the world outside. This tea house was rebuilt in 1957. The garden and its structures were destroyed twice by fires, once in 1858 and again in the 1864 riot.”
japanpropertycentral Report
“The former Mitsui Family Shimogamo Villa. Built in 1925, although part of the home dates from the 1880s, having been detached and relocated here from their other, larger villa near Sanjo Street (since demolished). The European-influenced part of the house was the newer portion built in 1925. Despite the grandeur, this home was built as a rest-stop for when they visited their ancestral shrine nearby. The property was transferred to the national government in 1949, and from 1951 to 2007 it was used as the official residence of the president of the Kyoto Family Court.”

“The merchant house of Nakashima Shokai. Built in 1928. The decorative sheet copper facade is a wonderful example of billboard architecture (kanban-kenchiku).”

“A traditional setting in Tokyo’s Kanda district. An early postwar house now swamped by office buildings. Miraculously the sun is still able to shine down on the narrow laneway.”

Designers Visualize The Same American House In 10 Different Styles From The Last Five Centuries
Have you ever watched a Hollywood movie or TV series and caught yourself paying attention to the beautiful architectural styles of the characters’ houses rather than the plot? I have. Which is why I was so happy to find out that American Home Shield has decided to look back at the evolution of the American house for their 50th anniversary.
Turns out, many elements of American home design have stayed the same over the last 450 years. Talk about long-standing traditions, right? In the images below, you can see renders that American Home Shield has created to document the history of the American home.
More info: ahs.com | Facebook | twitter.com | youtube.com
Cape Cod Style (1600s–1950s)

“The first Cape Cod style homes were built by Puritan colonists who came to America in the late 17th century. They modeled their homes after the half-timbered houses of their English homeland, but adapted the style to the stormy New England weather. Over a few generations, a modest, one- to one-and-a-half-story house with wooden shutters emerged. Reverend Timothy Dwight, a president of Yale University in Connecticut, recognized these houses as he traveled throughout the Massachusetts coastline, where Cape Cod juts out into the Atlantic Ocean. In an 1800 book describing his travels, Dwight is credited with coining the term “Cape Cod” to describe this prolific class or type of colonial architecture.” (source)
“Although Victorian styles eclipsed the plain Cape, these houses came back, in greater numbers than ever, during the Colonial Revival of the 1930s, often larger than the originals and with different framing methods, interior plans, staircases, and details. Owing to the romantic associations of 18th century models and the ubiquity of 20th century Capes, this is arguably the most recognized house style in America.” (source)
Georgian Colonial House Style (1690s–1830)
Image credits: American Home Shield
“The Georgian style arrived in America via British architectural building manuals called pattern books around 1700. While the Georgian style was popular in England in the 17th and 18th centuries, it is based on the classical forms of the earlier Italian Renaissance period. English master architects Inigo Jones, Christopher Wren and James Gibbs, inspired by the classicism of the Italian Renaissance developed the Georgian style in England. (source)
The first high-style examples are in the South, built usually by affluent tobacco planters. Grand examples—of wood rather than brick as in Virginia—became more common in the North only after 1750.” (source)
Federal Style (1780–1840)
Image credits: American Home Shield
“After the Revolution, Americans wanted cultural as well as political independence, and they began to change the style of their buildings to reflect their change of allegiance. While the houses were not radically different—and still drew upon British sources—the high-style buildings of the new era bore a new and American name.
The Federalist party which, ironically, tended to favor British interests in foreign affairs, was the party of the merchants and landowners. These were the people with the means to build important houses—houses that came to be known as having been built in the Federal Style. The name “Federal” is a catch-all for buildings that date from the close of the Revolution (1783) until the first great machine-age style, the Greek Revival, became popular in the 1820s and 1830s. Other terms used for buildings of the Federal decades are Adamesque and Neo-Classical.” (source)
Greek Revival House Style (1825–1860)
Image credits: American Home Shield
“British architect James “Athenian” Stuart is said to have been the first to introduce Greek Revival to Britain, but it was in America that Greek Revival would fully bloom. As a new democracy, 19th-century Americans were inspired by the birthplace of democracy and by Greek culture, art, and philosophy and all of the symbolism and meaning that it held for a nation in the midst of defining itself. Americans began to reject the Federal style with its British influences and sought an American style with bona fide democratic roots. The Greek War of Independence (1821-1832) was another galvanizing force encouraging Americans to embrace the values of a country that had created democracy and was fighting for its independence from the Ottoman Empire.” (source)
“In Greece, temples were built of marble painted in primary colors. But by the time they were discovered by Europeans in the eighteenth century, the paint was long gone, leaving the white marble. And to this day, people associate the Greek Revival with the color white – the white columned look.” (source)
Italianate House (1840–1885)
Image credits: American Home Shield
“The style derived from Italy’s rambling farmhouses, usually built of masonry, with their characteristic square towers and informal detailing. By the 1830s, Italianate had spread to the United States, where architects began to transform it into something truly American with only hints of its Italian origin. Thus, working in this style, architects had a higher degree of artistic freedom than they had in earlier, more rigid styles.” (source)
“The Italianate style was popularized in the United States by Alexander Jackson Davis in the 1840s as an alternative to Gothic or Greek Revival styles. Davis’ design for Blandwood is the oldest surviving example of Italianate architecture in the United States, constructed in 1844 as the residence of North Carolina Governor John Motley Morehead.” (source)
Queen Anne Style (1880–1910)
Image credits: American Home Shield
“The Queen Anne style represented the culmination of the picturesque, or romantic movement of the 19th century. Based on a premise of “decorative excess” and variety, there was little attempt to stay true to any one particular style or historical detailing. Rather, the style displayed a combination of various forms and stylistic features borrowed from the earlier parts of the Victorian and Romantic eras. “Queen Anne” is somewhat misleading given her much earlier reign (1702-1714) during times when Renaissance-inspired architecture was the norm.
The last two decades of the nineteenth century saw Queen Anne become the most dominant residential style in the U.S., heavily favored by the Victorian elite who had become wealthy from industrial growth. Middle- and working-class families often enjoyed their own versions, however, in the form of smaller, L-shaped cottages or other “folk” variants decorated with some of the style’s typical trim or siding varieties.” (source)
Arts and Crafts (Craftsman) (1905–1930)
Image credits: American Home Shield
“As a reaction to the manufactured and ornate styles of the Victorian age, Arts and Crafts-style homes embraced handcrafted design and approachable materials. The style originated in Great Britain in the mid-19th century and came to America around the beginning of the 20th century. The term “Arts and Crafts” refers to a broader social movement that encompasses not just architecture, but also interior design, textiles, fine art, and more.
The design movement began as a revolt against the opulence of the Industrial Revolution, where design could be needlessly overdone. Arts and Crafts instead focused on the opposite–instead of mass-produced and uninspired, the movement was all about being handcrafted and personal. The idea was that if quality could replace quantity, good design and good taste would prevail.
The Arts and Crafts movement was directly tied to the rise of Craftsman and Bungalow-style homes, architecture that played off of the same mentality of simple but thoughtful structures. Bungalows were intended to give working-class families the ability to own a well-designed home that was easy to maintain and manage.” (source)
Art Deco + Art Moderne House Style (1920–1945)
Image credits: American Home Shield
“Art Deco was the first widely popular style in U.S. to break with revivalist tradition represented by Beaux-Arts and period houses. Art Deco uses a style of decoration that was applied to jewelry, clothing, furniture, handicrafts, and – in this case – buildings. Industrial designers used art deco motifs to decorate streamlined cars, trains, kitchen appliances, and many other machine-age innovations. Art Deco takes its name from the Exposition Internationale des Arts Decoratifs and Industriels Modernes, held in Paris 1925.” (source)
“The Art Deco style first gained public attention in 1922 in a design competition for the Chicago Tribune Headquarters. Finnish architect Eliel Saarinen submitted an Art Deco design that was not chosen, but was widely publicized and embraced as an exciting new architectural style.” (source)
Ranch Style (1945–1980)
Image credits: American Home Shield
“True ranch-style homes first made their appearance in the 1920s. Originally, they were based on Spanish colonial architecture used in the American Southwest. Efforts to combine that style with modern architectural touches created the California ranch-style home. That led to a boom in the building of these homes from the 1940s through the 1970s. Their livability, flexibility in floor plans and uncomplicated design were perfect for the post-World War II growth of American suburbs.” (source)
“A small number of architects working in California and the Southwest during the 1920s and ’30s designed the first suburban ranch-style houses. These were based on the simple, one-story houses built by ranchers who lived in the harsh climate of the plains and mountains of the West. For young architects seeking forms that were defined by their function and not layers of Victorian bric-a-brac or the Colonial-style treatments popular in the East, the ranchers’ houses had particular appeal.” (source)
Prefabricated Homes (1945-present)
Image credits: American Home Shield
“Prefabrication is a method of producing standardised components off-site in a factory or workshop, that can be fitted together on-site. The components can be shipped flat packed or partially assembled and are not subject to fluctuating weather conditions when they are manufactured. Prefabrication was a solution where there were no suitable local materials, for example in the former colonies, where buildings had to be erected quickly or where there were skills and materials shortages.” (source)
“After the development of the assembly line by Henry Ford in 1913, it became even easier to manufacture modular homes at a price that was affordable to many more consumers. And after World War II, when the US faced a housing crisis as soldiers returned home and started families, modular construction offered quick, low-cost housing options to house a new generation of Americans. From the beginning, modular buildings have provided innovative and affordable solutions.” (source)

Best Kitchen Cabinet Design Ideas
Kitchen cabinets are one of the most important pieces of furniture in any home. They not only store food and dishes, but they also play an important role in the design and function of your kitchen. When it comes to choosing the right kitchen cabinet design, you have a lot of options. From traditional to modern, these designs will suit a variety of different kitchen styles. So whether you’re looking for a classic look or something a little more contemporary, we’ve got you covered
- The first thing you’ll want to think about is the size of the cabinet. This is important because it will determine the amount of storage you’ll have. If you have a small kitchen, you may want to go with a smaller cabinet. On the other hand, if you have a large kitchen, you may want to go with a larger cabinet. If you want to create a more minimalist kitchen, you can use wall cabinets. Wall cabinets come in a variety of styles and they’re perfect if you want a sleek and modern look in your kitchen.
- Think about the layout of your kitchen cabinet. This will determine where the cabinet will go. For example, if you have a kitchen with a lot of counter space, you may want to put the cabinet on the counter. If you have a kitchen with limited counter space, you may want to put the cabinet in the corner. If you’re looking for a more traditional kitchen cabinet design, you can use drawer units. This type of cabinet is perfect if you want to store dishes and silverware in separate compartments.
- Make sure to choose an impressive style for your kitchen cabinet. This will determine what type of cabinet you’ll want. You can choose to go with a traditional style, a modern style, or a transitional style. A bright kitchen cabinet design will help to brighten up your kitchen and make it more cheerful. You can use any color you like, but be sure to choose a color that will go well with your other kitchen décor.
- And finally, you must think about the materials you’ll use. You can choose to go with a wooden cabinet, a metal cabinet, or a plastic cabinet. The two most popular materials for kitchen cabinets are wood and metal. Wood is the traditional material for kitchen cabinets, and it offers many benefits such as being sturdy, affordable, and easy to work with. If you want to use traditional kitchen cabinet designs, you can use kitchen cabinetry. Kitchen cabinetry is a more expensive option, but it’s also more durable and it can be customized to match your needs.

Rustic Asian Home With A Traditional Essence
Like Architecture and Interior Design? Follow us …
Just one more step. Please click the confirmation link sent to you.
On a Rustic Asian Home at the foothills of Annamese Cordillera, central Vietnam, Hue people hold the role of family in high regard, placing family ties above everything else. These values led one family of adult children to commission a home design in which their elderly parents could enjoy retirement from leisure hobbies and gardening. Designed by an architectural firm Limdim House Studio, this 75 square meter home was designed to be easily habitable for the elderly couple, with a comfortable but minimalist aesthetic. Traditional, rustic elements have been used to achieve a quiet appeal that is reminiscent of childhood in the countryside. An open interior plan promotes natural light and ventilation.
Although Hue is one of the largest cities in Vietnam, the lifestyle is very peaceful. This quiet spirit is conveyed in a traditional home exterior where rustic stone walls attractively contain a welcoming courtyard. Local to the city of Hue, an ancient style of simple clay tiles, called “Liệt” tiles, gives the home exterior its traditional coronation. A modest window of glass wash window interrupts a warm, buff image.
Inside the home, a minimalist arrangement was planned as the most convenient, low-maintenance solution for the elderly couple. The sitting room features a custom built sofa design with storage subtly under its concrete base. A low chair and coffee table make up the rest of the small seat, where a glass vase provides a simple centerpiece.
The concrete sofa base also forms the foot of a modern staircase design, with black metal balustrades forming a striking pattern. On the 100m2 site, only 50m2 was used in the footprint of the home. The rest of the plot was left available for growing vegetables and flowers and enjoying a quiet lifestyle.
Upstairs in the mezzanine bedroom, the stone-headed wall fits perfectly into the en-suite bathroom design, which is separated by a clear glass wall. The glazed wall lets natural light into the room and increases visual space. The daylight filters through a striking terracotta block bathroom wall that creates a pattern of arches.
Ground floor plan, showing the compact open plan living space with kitchen and dining rooms, plus two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The courtyard design behind the fence gate was designed to promote an intimate atmosphere that would evoke memories of childhood for the retired couple. Recovered simple clay tiles and blocks of baked bricks were assembled to draw parallels with traditional houses in the countryside, and to paint a quiet palette of earthy brown tones.
Section drawing, shows the rustic contrast of stone, wood, concrete, and nostalgic clay roof tiles. The bricks that were picked up from old houses served the new house with a traditional color palette. The material palette built notoriety that helped house the old homeowners in their new environment. This diagram also illustrates how the sun path affected the window sill, and how ventilation mapping created ultimate comfort within the home.

A Modern Indian Brutalist House With Artistic Touches
Like Architecture and Interior Design? Follow us …
Thank you. You have been subscribed.
Combining a crude Brutalist House composition with softer Indian interior touches, this fabulous home design is a dramatic blend of modern architectural principles and traditional Indian typologies. Created by talent at The Web Architects, this unique house was designed for a small entrepreneurial family with a creative mindset. In addition to running a flower business, the client is also a poet, while his son is an avid nature photographer. Built on a plot of about 12,000 square feet, the large property was shaped to provide a simple, functional home. A minimal material palette of concrete, natural stone and keystone provide a modest interior base for decorated Indian elements and art.
The sliced facade also creates three cantilevered levels. Various terraces are pocketed under the canopy to take advantage of the happy shade, most of which have abundant greenery and flowers. The simple entrance slides under a concrete canopy. It has a three-meter high door that is pulled out and embedded in stone. The front door welcomes guests into an impressively long passageway with seating arranged on the left and a waiting lobby on the right.
The property, called Beton Brut (raw concrete in French), takes advantage of the edifying color and freshness of plant life both inside and out. Due to the predominantly arid climate of the region, drought-prone plants have been selected for the southwest-facing terraces. These temperate specimens also encourage an influx of beautiful butterflies and hummingbirds to the outdoor terraces, creating an amazing biodiversity.
As we move inside the home, we discover a magnificent double-height living room. Molded concrete continues to have a textural interest here, and provides a cool gray background for the warmth of rich tequila furniture. Living spaces are focused on the garden to establish a consistent connection with nature.

Mid-century modern elements add style to the home of this comfortable book lover, layering a contrasting color over a rich wooden tone.

Thank you. You have been subscribed.
Parisian Chic Home Interiors, In the chic apartments of Paris, style is elegant but comfortable. This applies to clothing fashion and home interiors alike. Just as we are inspired by the Parisian sparrow to fill our closets, inspiration from fabulous French home interiors is also spreading around the world. Europe has been watching Paris since the reign of Louis XIV, when luxury goods came under royal control. Today, it is not the French royal court that is in a position as the arbiter of taste and style but the illustrators of these three complex domestic concepts. Come with us as we tour luxurious Parisian chic lounges, beautiful dining rooms, delicious kitchens and trendy bedrooms – Oh là là!
A curved sofa design gracefully traverses the perimeter of the room, embracing the edge of a chic, circular stone coffee table. Next wall between the living room and the kitchen contains two arched shelving units, built inside to add an elegant architectural interest. A built-in planter makes an attractive bed for indoor plants.
Within the same large living space, a second living area is formed with a more linear aesthetic, including a rectangular rug and a contemporary linear sofa. The slim, minimalist lamp is a Sampei floor lampdesigned by Davide Groppi and Enzo Calabrese.

Thank you. You have been subscribed.
Relaxed curves and light, soft monochrome decor make a smooth minimalist statement through these two quiet modern home interiors. The laconic color palette presents clear spaces for a clear mind where one can indulge in deep thought and meditation, or enjoy deep conversation without the distraction of abundant color and tense linearity. Huge windows fill these elegant home interiors with blissful sunlight that falls softly on curved furniture silhouettes, huge round living room rugs, subtle decorative vases and architectural arches. Creamy, minimalist living spaces and bedrooms form a cohesive calm everywhere, gently lit by perimeter LEDs. Uber’s sleek modern fireplaces provide a welcoming, comfortable flare.
Our first soothing home interior has a double-height living room with huge windows that bring vast views of the city and abundant natural light. Creamy decoration reflects the daylight deep into the generously sized lounge. A modern fireplace flickers brightly inside its sophisticated understated fireplace.

Modern Chinese Minimalist home designs With Super Stylish Twists

Thank you. You have been subscribed.
These modern Chinese minimalist home designs have characteristic elegant twists. A unique modern staircase dominates one open plan dwelling, ascending to the second floor as a stack of sliding volumes with storage inserted into the base. Unusual sofas dot minimalist living spaces and chic home workspaces are framed with custom desk designs. There’s even a children’s bedroom that delivers an extraordinarily fun factor with a crazy new bed and a mural. Throughout our collection of home excursions, we will find open and interesting layout concepts that create clear zoning, spacious rooms that are covered with elegant, custom storage units, and exceptional bathrooms with uneven floors.
Our first modern Chinese minimalist interior is a warm white space with large windows. Storage units line the wall with doors inspired by Shoji screens – because although the Shoji is accepted as a Japanese domestic feature, they were born from China’s folding screens. Two food hangers look like inverted Chinese oil-paper umbrellas.
White-on-white decoration creates a calm atmosphere. Even the Samsung Serif TV fits into the room palette with a clear white frame.

A Modern House On A Challenging Sloped Terrain
Like Architecture and Interior Design? Follow us …
Thank you. You have been subscribed.
Negotiating the rugged, sloping terrain, this modern home design in Santa Maria Da Feira, Portugal, is arranged to prioritize beautiful open views and a peaceful connection with the garden. Created by an architectural firm Lopes da Costa Workshop, the luxury house is focused mainly to the south, where it encompasses an outdoor swimming pool and a fixed sun deck on two sides. The elbow that connects the two sloping volumes of the home is a glazed corridor that bridges the soaked, grassy garden below. The south / north-facing slope of the site produces a false basement that pockets a comfortable TV lounge and covered parking lots between the support areas.
The pool design extends away from the main living volume of the house at a perpendicular angle, which sends it hovering through the manicured green lawn. A wooden deck borders the outdoor pool on two sides, connecting it smoothly by stairs to the main residence and to the comfortable basement TV room.
Glass railings leave the view of the green landscape and a bright blue swimming pool wide open. The sloping terrain places the pool at an intermediate level between the main floor and the basement. A small French window is cut into the base of the pool to reveal a playful glimpse of the water, and its swimmers, into the basement.
The kitchen is placed at the end of the main living room, with the nearest connection to the pool for comfort. Bright white kitchen units reflect the incoming flow of beautiful sunlight from the south. Instead of a backsplash, a narrow window cuts open the side of the kitchen to a thin panorama. A central kitchen island puts cooking in the heart of the space, next to a casual dining room.
Main floor with kitchen, social open plan living room and private bedroom wing. The bedrooms are located on the highest elevation of the site, where they enjoy the utmost privacy and get views over the forest that blooms beyond and below. An isolated home office is located at the far end of the social volume, facing west, where it also boasts meditative views deep into the trees.

Thank you. You have been subscribed.
Stone feature walls build pure magic within these two very special interior designs. A rough rock accent wall forms a fabulous room divider in our first property. This unique element of decoration provides the modern living room with a huge statement and acts as a TV wall. The dramatic stone partition is split by a crack of clear glass, which creates an internal picture window that connects to the bedroom series. In our second home design, a black stone feature wall is incorporated into a grumpy living room scheme. The palpation accent wall is joined by coarse concrete and fluted finishes to create a deeply woven interior.
A short duration of kitchen counter serves as a decorative surface for some Tetra candles by Naoto Fukasawa for B&B Italia.

Thank you. You have been subscribed.
Resting gently on the undulating green ground of Bragança Paulista in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, this luxurious home design respects its place. Created by an architectural firm Jurij Vital, the 693-square-foot house was designed as a perfectly linear volume that draws in both intimate and distant views of the beautiful valley ahead. A board-shaped concrete exterior shapes the modern home exterior, along with huge expanses of wooden shutters. Cantilevered volumes float lightly between oblique structural walls on each side of the house. Elegant supporting pillars meet the grassy ground or sink gently into the water mirror that surrounds the front of the farm.
Once inside the home, a wide, open plan living space lives with natural light and an airy atmosphere. Cognac-colored leather chairs and a coordinating leather sofa add warm accents to cool gray and white living room decor. The cognac upholstery and natural wood furniture frame complete the expanse of wooden shutters at huge living room windows.

Costa Rican House: Privileged Pacific Views

Thank you. You have been subscribed.
Silenced on the hilltops of the town of Nosara in Guanacaste, Costa Rica, Charred Timber House absorbs high-level views of the Pacific and a dense green landscape. Designed by Studio Saxe, the 515-square-foot family home has charcoal teak wood exterior and black-framed windows. Two extended horizontal roof planes provide protection against the natural elements, while also promoting connection with nature by forming wide and welcoming terraces. The exterior is inspired by the interior, which is decorated with natural wood and dark, matte materials. Living spaces are open plan and airy, with full focus placed on the special views that are drawn in through floor to ceiling walls made of glass.
The construction of this home was driven by the weight-bearing capabilities of the soil and the seismic conditions of Costa Rica. In response, a lightweight steel structure was pre-cut to be assembled quickly on site. Local tequila has been sustainably sourced and treated by the ancient technique of carburizing and finishing with natural oils.
Divided wide open to the dramatic ocean and mountain panorama, the interior is an intense space. Colorful accent furniture competes for attention in the living room. Multicolored scattered cushions add to the upbeat palette. A modern rocking chair counteracts the brightness with a natural wooden frame and neutral upholstery.
Not only does the high staircase volume add an interesting juxtaposition to the architecture, but it helps air circulation to all parts of the apartment. The construction’s bioclimatic design process considered wind patterns, sun exposure, temperature, and more so that active energy initiatives could be avoided. In this home, the power of the sun is harnessed to heat water with minimal energy consumption, and water is recycled by filters using state-of-the-art treatment plant systems.
Upstairs, bedroom decorations are simple and serene with natural wood furniture, wooden lath wall and ceiling featuring panels, and clear white bed linen. A rustic wooden end of a bed bench merges with the unfinished wooden bed design. Modern white liter units line the sides for storage. Glass table lamps reflect the daylight of huge bedroom windows.

Thank you. You have been subscribed.
With privileged views over the riverbank in Aveiro, Western Portugal, this modern beach house is designed to accommodate a multi-generational family. Children, parents and grandparents can get together in the connected, social living spaces, while also being able to find peaceful solitude in more private rooms. Created by an architectural firm Lopes da Costa Workshop, the house structure is sharp and compact with a sloping roof. Contemporary wood paneling and contrasting white imagery break the solid facade to create a more dynamic finish. Prominent balconies on the first floor are light in effect, with clear glass railings fixed so that the owners can soak in the tranquil panorama.
The modern exterior is sliced open with wide windows that extend from floor to ceiling on the lower two levels of the coastal house. A huge L-shaped courtyard surrounds the property, allowing plenty of space on which to place an outdoor dining area and outdoor lounge. Two outdoor outdoor chairs are arranged on a small sun deck at the edge of the pool for complete relaxation.
The house opens to the south and east to take advantage of the vast coastal view and main sun exposure. Oblique balconies overlook the panorama, where they develop a close relationship with the lower courtyard and the overflowing swimming pool. The window on the other two sides of the building is reduced mostly to slender landscape frames that give the house an appearance of fort-like security.
All social spaces gather on the ground floor of the family home. In the main residence, contemporary gray sofas are lighted with bright sunny yellow scattered cushions. A set of nesting wooden coffee tables makes a simple focus in the center of the tiled floor of the living room. A concrete TV wall adds an industrial essence to the minimalist décor, and a cool framing of a modern fireplace and media niche.
