Escape into the Woods!

Who ever said that cottages had to be quaint? Or that you couldn’t have a modern-life in the ‘elements?’ This cottage breaks all of our pressumptions, and shows that you can get back in touch with nature….in-style! Designed by Toyo Ito & Associates, in Minamikoma-gun, Yamanashi in Japan, this 2-story Aluminum Cottage definitely doesn’t look like it was destined for the woods, but is truly a nature walk-stopper! A completely open plan, vaulted ceilings, and full-height glazing truly captures and emphasizes the size and light of the interior- wich in reality is not that large (only 800 sq.ft.)
