F Residence is a curious example of Japanese practical thinking. The building is a combination of the home and office of Go Fujita, the founder of Gosize architecture firm. It is designed entirely in a minimalist style, reflecting the distinctive Japanese aesthetic. Here natural materials were preferred in construction. This is a perfect example of a minimalist stone and concrete house. It impresses with its beauty, which is found in the simplicity of its design. The house is located in Hyogo and is set within beautiful natural surroundings. The place is one of the top 100 areas in Japan where you can admire the flowering splendor of Japanese cherry trees. The exterior of the house blends seamlessly into its surroundings. It has a natural stone base topped with a reinforced concrete structure. Let's take a look inside this minimalist house in Japan together?
Minimalist house made of stone and concrete. It is located in one of the best regions of Japan where you can see the Japanese cherry blossoms every day.
From afar, the minimalist house catches the eye with its simple design.
This minimalist building has two floors and rises elegantly. The construction is so simple that it is noticeable from afar. The house serves both as an apartment and as an office. The founder of Gosize is also the design architect of Go Fujita. He built it for himself, taking into account his building and life philosophy. And according to his needs and desires. The architect has brought home and office under one roof and placed the emphasis on simplicity on the inside. Here, minimalism celebrates its grand triumph in the living room. In addition, the Architect has numerous connections to make with the outside world.
The connection between indoors and outdoors is paramount for a minimalist home in Japan.
In the design of this inner courtyard, no savings were made on natural materials. The walls are made of concrete, the floor is covered with large stone slabs in light gray and raven black tiles. These contrast strongly with each other. Nevertheless, it doesn't look lifeless there. In this courtyard, which is also designed in a minimalist style, one notices the traditional elements for every Japanese garden. For example, a water feature and some plants that change little depending on the season. The sound of the water is soft and calms the mind. This quiet and balanced atmosphere in the inner courtyard is fully in line with the Japanese philosophy of life. It also offers the opportunity to get closer to nature and to live in harmony with it. This also provides/enables the connection between the individual “I” and the outside world.
This courtyard is easily accessed via sliding glass doors and allows owners to enjoy privacy, natural light and fresh air outside
