Floating luminously on a hillside in Hamamatsu City, in Japan, an all wood live/work home by Japanese architecture firm Yukiharu Suzuki & Associates has dramatic views from the coast.

Constructed almost entirely in wooden slats, light coming from within the house at night gives it the warm and inviting appearance of a lantern.

The pared-down Japanese concept of “Wabi-Sabi” informs the industrial live-work space. Wabi is a peculiarly Japanese word which refers to a design sensibility of accepting less than the level of perfection and comfort that Westerners might want, or deliberately restricting solutions to “just what you need, and no more.”

What you need is light, and space. Natural materials, and simplicity.

The slats bring dappled light in that has the effect of a forest. Representing rocks and trees, the house is constructed entirely from concrete and wood.

Even in the living part of the house, the utmost simplicity rules.
