Located in Japan, the Kusatsu Home is a very minimalist design, and features a windowless wall on one side that allows for the owners to enjoy the fresh air.
Instead of simply having a patio section, the home opens up onto an outside area, which is closed in by a large wall. This allows the owners to get outside of the house and not have to worry about their privacy. Considering that the house is in a residential neighborhood, it becomes difficult for people to leave their homes without other people peering inside, so this design meets these needs perfectly.
The Kusatsu Home is ideal for those living in tighter spaces close to their neighbors.
