House N by Sou Fujimoto

The Japanese are not only good with electronics, they also have great designers and architects. House N is a series of nesting boxes in Oita, Japan, by Sou Fujimoto Architects. It is astoundingly transparent even as it is smartly layered to create privacy where needed. Generally, the bedroom is the most private area in our house and we would try to hide away, but House N has a non-traditional design; the bed area is not in the inner most box, but in the second box. Painted in white and the blurred boundaries between interior and exterior spaces, it’s a stunning piece of design. photos from iwan.com
