What an attractive and cool house design ideas. This house is a small residence with a building area of less than 66 sqm. With black on exterior and white in interior, this geometrical house really applied modern living concept that colloborated with capability to handle space limitation.

The structure is a wooden construction mostly made of 2×4 members and laminated panels. Long piles are required because of the weak ground. The light construction of timbers as well as pliotis with the least number of spots touching the ground was favorable in decreasing the number and length of piles.

The house includes 3 structural elements that lift up the double-layered living section. The largest element in the Container Structure is the core accommodating the staircase, storage, washing place for the dog, and lavatory. The other two elements house utility pipes and wires, and are so to say arms that become thin as bones toward the ground.

Inframable material were used for interior and exterior finishings in compliance to prevention codes. Exterior walls were covered with 5mm slit boards of rustproof steel sheet 1 mm thick, placed at a distance of 5mm from the base steel plates to create heat-insulatlng air space in between, in order to provide comfortable interior environment during summer seasons.

Note: Container Structure System: A patent pending new method developed by Satoshi Okada and Hirokazu Toki upon their design for Gallery in Kiyosato. The architect of this house is Satoshi Okada Architect.
