This Japanese house architecture designed by architect Yasuhiro Yamashita of Atelier Tekuto designed this sleek house located in Yokohama City, Kanagawa, Japan. Its unique, sloping roofline and tapering profile, the white shell encases an expansive, glazed front face. On the inside, the Branching Coral House is edgy and modern – not quite what you’d expect from the gentle curves that characterize its facade, but a pleasant surprise by all accounts.
