Beautiful house of modern style and design intended for rest but we'd love to and lived in it and spent many days. Its clamshell and elliptical looks great fit with the exterior in which it is located. That house is located in the forest Karuizawa, Nagano, Japan.
It was designed by architects from architectural firms ARTechnic in Japan. The construction project lasted 18 months and the performance of two and half years. Architects as construction materials and equipment chosen reinforced concrete construction and wood which gives a brilliant contrast and provides blending with the exterior in which it is located. This piece of art is a great example of how art and architecture provide a magnificent atmosphere of the residents of the house.
