A minimalist wooden house where a couple and their cat live peacefully

This house was designed by furniture artist Makoto Koizumi. The residents are a couple, a lighting designer and a museum educator, and their three cats. The minimalist space is stripped down to the bare essentials. The grain of the three-layered cedar panels adds sway and softness, and the composition of white, wood, and the landscape cut by the windows is poetic. The attention to detail, typical of furniture artists, is also a highlight. Although the house is compact, with a total floor space of 77 m2, it is a continuous space with no doors or other fittings except for the toilet, and the couple live freely in it, just like cats.

As an Australian with Japanese in laws I have had some trips to Japan. I love the simplicity of some new Japanese homes as well as the original old homes. I wish Australians would focus more on building sustainable small homes instead of the monstrosities they insist on building. I am not saying everyone should live a minimalist life style but having been a self employed residential cleaner before I retired I know for a fact that there is a lot of internal space in some large Australian homes that is completely wasted. This home is light, bright, private and carefree and is built on a small block. It has everything you need on a small scale. A brilliant build.

Even the cat is minimalist. Forget about being of many colors, just black!!!
