Small House H

I often tell people that one day I’d like to get some land in or around Kamakura and have a Muji house built there — my preference is for the original Ki no Ie — but I think Kumiko Inui‘s Small House H would suit me as well. See more of the private residence at Designboom.

New Website for Wonderwall

You may have already heard about it — it’s been making the web rounds — but Masamichi Katayama (Wonderwall) has indeed updated his company’s website, enlisting the aid of flash master Yugo Nakamura.
