The thing about sci-fi-esque House 01 — a project designed by Ryuichi Ashizawa Architects — that surprises me the most is that it’s currently under construction. See this post over at Designboom for more details.

Secret Garden
I have to say I’m quite a fan of these secret gardens you hear about, located on Tokyo rooftops. The one pictured above is not in Tokyo, but rather in Isezaki (Gunma prefecture), and was designed by Ryuichi Ashizawa Architects. I’ve been told that KDa‘s Astrid Klein has one of her own.

Ishizuchi House
I have to say I quite like the openness and blockiness of Kazujuki Okamura‘s Ishizuchi House — there are more photos here, where you can better see that various parts of the home. Via MoCo Loco.
