I really feel what the designers were going for in this design. It's has a very calm, zen feeling… on the inside. But what is the purpose of creating such a cold, soulless exterior? hmmmm…

You mean, the picture that also shows the road in order to put the project into context and make a case for shutting out the views from the exterior? Why, indeed.

Japanese Architects have this cold touch , at the same time you can see the creativity with the contrast between the positive and negative spaces , it's an art by it self , even though it makes you feel like a prison, but you can't deny it!

The interiors of all these Japanese houses are incredibly yet the exteriors are so cold and forbidding. I wish there could be a better solution to how a design like this can fit in and contribute to the surrounding environment. The fortress feeling is not a place I would want to live.

Simply beautiful and good to see that the living space is thought from the inside – which would probably make it very difficult for a real estate agent to sell it on location, location and location. And not to mention, a great view overlooking the ehm … highway.

Yes, it is definitely an oasis of beauty and with a focus on the living space environment.
