It’s said not to judge a book by its cover. The same goes for houses – especially this tiny one in Japan!
Designed by Mizuishi Architects Atelier, the 594-square-foot house is based on a triangular site between a river and a road. It looks really small from the outside, yet it is surprisingly more spacious from the inside than you’d expect. The triangular house has two floors, with the bedroom on the first floor, the kitchen and living room on the second, plus a little family playroom on a mezzanine level accessible by ladder. All the walls are painted white, which makes the whole place look more spacious and light. Check out some pics below!

"it is surprisingly more spacious from the inside than you’d expect." It is exactly as spacious as I would expect from interior photos taken with an ultrawide angle lens. Just look at how distorted all the furniture is. Just take the "round" ball in the fifth picture for 1 of many examples

There's also no real storage. Where do the people keep their clothes? Their books, their general stuff?

I've wondered how do they strengthen the foundation and prevent it from topple when the strong wind blows?

Even poor kitty's head is distorted from the wide angle lens

Feels like visiting a "miraculous place" The architecture and design interiors were stunning. I like the concept of this house! Definitely will be my future house design.

The pics are not from that house, where is the wall of windows seen in from the inside? Where is the kitchen in the slated window in the night shot?

The "wall of windows" is on the second floor. There are essentially three floors, the toy room is at the very top with the slanted windows. If you look closely you can match up the railing outside the windows with those on the second floor. Looks like the bedroom and bathroom might be on the bottom floor with the tiny windows.

Maybe I'm 'not' seeing things. Looking at the first shot, where you can see both long sides of the house, I don't see that deck. Trying to situate the building from shots taken inside and looking through the windows, it seems as if we are seeing pictures from two different buildings.

You can see the (very narrow) deck in the last picture - it just looks much longer in the indoor shot.
