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.

Inside, the highlight of the living room is an industrial-style steel staircase; white like the walls, in cool contrast to the black floor, which gives this modern house a striking, urban appeal. Minimalist complete details of the industrial white walls throughout the board, each side of the room.
