Japanese Art : “With” from LOOP Studio

This is the latest piece of high-architecture from LOOP studio. The house is called “With” and it is located in a rural area in Gunma, Japan, far away from the noise and insanity of major Japanese cities. With a minimalist, black and simple exterior design, the project involves a very interesting interior, with two levels, but no dividing roof/floor. Windows are large and occupy an important role in overall design of the house. This also gives a feeling of space and ensures a great luminosity. The living-room and bedrooms are located downstairs and there is the possibility of dining outside the kitchen (a table is set there for special occasions)
