Contemporary Japanese House Design – Boukyo House
Thu, Dec 25, 2008 | Modern home designs | By Mike
Boukyo house is situated in Sapporo, Japan. The city is the most famous for hosting 1972 Winter Olympics and it’s also the fifth biggest city in Japan. The house is designed by Nakayama Architects. One of the project targets was to cover the maximum cubic meters that the budget will permit. The idea was to separate as far as possible the private areas of the house ? two bedrooms and one bathroom ? and the public areas ? A workroom, living room, dining room and kitchen. As the result all areas ended up on different levels.

Guess that just goes to show you, you can’t judge by what’s on the outside. I mean the exterior looks run down, but the inside looks amazing.
Good job

This can’t be in Japan, there is no Sweet & Sour Pork on the table or banzai tree with a spray bottle!!!

How could anyone live in such a sterile environment? It looks like they do chemistry experiments in this………….lab. Where’s the love man?

Jim, there are much more cold interiors in Japan. That one is even quite warm. If you look through the site you will see that.

I know this sounds like a blatant add but I’m quite serious. When you have what appears to be a sterile and somewhat harsh environment the decor is vital to making it habitable. Color, texture, plants and here we go…my line of home decor could make this a stuning environment. Judge the my line (asianartimports.com) aspect for yourself. I’m open to comments.

Darn….this has so many possibilities…..but you left it too cold. Change it and picture yourself spending your life there……….

I think that’s a really cool house. But it is definitely not the norm in Japan.

This is a super-gorgeous work of art. I wonder what it would look like with stuff in it, like books and toys.
