This beautiful and unusual house was created by architect Tetsuya Nakazono from Naf Architect & Design and is located in Hiroshima, Japan. The residence has a total living surface of 172, 55 square meters and it has three floors. The black cedar material was chosen because the construction was built in a traditional Japanese area, with similar cedar projects and even cedar sake distilleries. The first level houses an entrance hall, the master bedroom, the tatami room and a bathroom. An elegant spiral staircase leads to the upper floors. As you start going up, a semi-opened space follows. This is also a great place for a terrace. At the third floor is where the action is:  the living-room, dining room and kitchen complete this amazing home.

This beautiful home was under a recent renovation from Kidosaki Architects Studio. The company is famous for they works, and especially for the fact that they manage to perfectly integrate traditional Japanese items into contemporary residences. Y Residence is such an example. With a large panoramic view over the Pacific Ocean and situated on a hill, the owners of this place wanted a make-over that would imply a limited budget. As a result, the architects thought of a design that takes the colors and feel of the ocean and integrates them in the architecture of the house, still holding on to the traditional decorative items. The most fascinating thing for us is the outdoor terrace, a great place for relaxation which features spectacular ocean views.-via Yatzer
