Garden Inside a Small Japanese House Design

from: www.decodir.com

Japan is the center of highly creative architects. They are due to background the history behind the man had grown into men who are not easily defeated by limitations. The simple example is about space. Houses in Japan are generally small, so they create a beautiful japanese garden inside home especially for those who don’t have a yard.

The idea, if the space out there are not enough, why don’t we create a garden inside the house? By seeing the picture below, you will be able to watch which space that can be maximized to create a garden inside the house. One place that can adopt this garden inside the house is the kitchen. You can plant crops in the land remaining in this kitchen. This mini garden will create a fresh atmosphere as you enjoy the cooking or having a breakfast, lunch or dinner with the family.

Another idea is to utilize the land at the turn of the inter-space as an example between the bathroom and bedroom. Make your garden by adding small stones as decorations just like this beautiful japanese garden house. You should choose plants that have the power to grow stronger in space with small amount of lighting, or you can also put a few pots on the balcony. Who says a house can’t be contrived into narrow small garden ? The transparent transition that separate the garden to these small japanese home interior is a wide transparent glass that could maximize indirect lighting that flowing to the interior. But one thing to remind, the wide transparent glass will need a great efforts to maintain and clean every day. The architects seems to have a cool solution to this small house in moriyama by covering the garden landscape with gravel to cover the soil.

Steve Sauer's 182-square-foot Seattle condo shows the value of a good fit, from the soaking tub built into the entry floor to the "video lounge" tucked beneath the "cafe area." Sauer shopped Ikea for many of his home's furnishings, such as a little table,and used tabletops to fashion cabinet fronts.



Steve Sauer watches television in the video lounge, which has seating for two.
The horizontal band around the condo, accenting the powder-blue walls, is coated with blackboard paint.



Sauer relaxes in the cafe area of his 182-square-foot condo.
"I was worried as I filled in all the upper spaces that it would feel cramped, but it didn't," he says.
The window is at street level. The little table is Ikea. It has a glass top that swivels open, providing storage.



Sauer checks his messages at the dining table, which includes a leaf to expand for company.The undercounter refrigerator is Frigidaire, from Lowe's.



Sauer designed the tiny condo for two. Just inside the door is the bathroom
to the left, and a soaking tub inserted into the floor and covered with a 3form Chroma panel.



One bike is tethered to the ceiling for storage. Steam heat comes from the building's system.
The ventilation chimney runs across Sauer's ceiling, and was easy to pipe into. "It was passing through here anyway."



The video lounge is tucked beneath the cafe area and next to the dining table.
"All along the way this project's had good chi, so that's good," Sauer says.
The bureau is from West Elm. "It fit to within 1/8 inch. It was a nice find.
I didn't want to build another piece of furniture." The floor is Brazilian walnut.



The bathroom wall is covered in 1-inch tiles from Tiles for Less.
Light filters into the room through a 3form Chroma panel, shared with the kitchen.
The ceiling is tempered glass meant for a table top from Ikea. The toilet is Philippe Stark for Duravit.
Sauer designed and manufactured the stainless-steel shower caddy and towel bar.
