house in Japan

Japanese architect Shimpei Oda has reworked the dark interior of a humble 1920s house in Kyoto

This Japanese house + studio is touching something in me. I don't know exactly what it is, but it might be the strong contrast between the World outside and the simplicity inside. I really like the first picture with the window….I wish to sit on this rug, and feel this space for a moment. 

I have a weakness for Japanese modern houses, becouse often its not so important what kind of furniture is inside, its more about the space. Architects are plying so well with differs sizes, hights, light and use of the natural materials inside the houses. My architect's heart beats faster when I see something like that. I dream, that one day I will visit Japan and see it on my own eyes.
