Industrial designer's dream house in Tokyo
Designing a house for a designer is like baking a cake for a pastry chef: per-res-sure! But Tokyo's Koji Tsutsui Architect & Associates gave it a shot anyway, designing a domicile to an industrial designer's exacting specifications:
It was required that this house be not only private in nature but also in coexistence with the client's feelings for his life's work, the industrial design. The client gave Koji Tsutsui several requirements including an open atelier to outside; a study with a view to the car; a living/ dining space where his treasured industrial products will be displayed; and completely separated guest room and bed room for sleep. On the other hand, considering that the act of thinking about design is part of the client's daily life, the division between designing and living needed to be as ambiguous as possible. Each room had to be divided while also softly connecting them together at the same time.
The client remains unnamed, but we're going to guess it's Nendo's Oki Sato or maybe Naoto Fukusawa. Hit the jump for more pictures of the house, and/or click here to read more about it.

How sterile and desolate. This better NOT be the future of housing for all.
