Nice shape but isn’t it a little un handy?

Unique, but what is the point ( well ok, small pun intended)
It’s not saving anything and has not utilized the space well, this envelope could easily incorporate a loft as well.

I like the concept but it looks too cold.

….just cause you CAN doesn’t always mean your SHOULD.
This is a waste of space in a country where space is at a premium in my opinion.

Not exactly groundbreaking. There was an A-Frame house next door where I grew up. The door was in the front of that one, not on the side. Just because you build it in Japan does not make it special for that reason alone.

Contemporary but not worthy enough for spacesaving in Japan….

It must suck to fix the roof.

my ∆ brings all the hipsters to my yard, and they’re like, how avant-garde.

OK…so…it’s an A-Frame. Who knew that the mainstay of Adirondack cabins would be considered “hip”

this would be a good idea pretty much anywhere EXCEPT where space is very rare… why waste it?… idiots.

Look at all the buildings AROUND it. One house isn’t going to make much of a difference housing-wise, why not make the place a little more exciting? It’s like a flower popping up through sand, why not? It’s not hurting anything, plus it looks good!

So they built a tent. What’s groundbreaking inthis project?

i don’t think it’s a kind of space saving way… :| the interior is simple… maybe it’s unique just because it has the triangle shape outside :|
