Time to have a look at Japanese architecture pearls 
.
Architecture of nowadays gets many times to monumental. That´s why I wanted to show you how beautiful simplicity can be.
The idea that ‘less is more’ is ingrained in the Japanese mind and has its roots in Zen thought.It´s one of the basic ingrendients in the Japanese architecture as well.
Parabola House is a family home in Tokyo designed by Japanese architect Yasuhiro Yamashita of Atelier Tekuto. The building is 5 meters wide and 27 meters in length, due to the needs of the long and narrow area where it is located. The concrete and glass are the main materials with which these forms have been achieved and overhangs that give the impression of floating in the air.I really like it, hope you´ll enjoy it too!
Other Japanese modern home which I want to show you is the Engawa House in Tokyo by Tezuka Architects. It is a long and narrow house which becomes like a porch after sliding the 16 meters glass panel doors, opening up that whole side of the house. A curtain runs across that side, for privacy. This compact house design combines modern amenities with true minimal aesthetics by implementing wooden storage cabinets across the back wall of the kitchen area, while the kitchen itself is stainless steel.
