Saitama House: A Small Modern Country Shed

When viewed from one side, this wooden house in Saitama, Japan, looks like a country shed, with its simple box like design, white exterior and one small window that you simply cannot ignore.

The front of the house is even more unusual where various sized windows are scattered at random.

Designed by Tokyo-based Satoru Hirota Architects, this two-story home looks quite simple from the outside, however its interior design is a whole different story;

clean white walls and dark wood finish create a minimalist, modern look & feel, whereas randomly placed windows catch your eye, shedding natural light in unexpected angles.
