Ps- If this makes a 300 SQ FT house seem bigger. Imagine how much it would make an ordinary 1.800 SQ FT house seem bigger. It'd be like a mansion I bet.
my tiny bungalow is one seventh the sq ft and at 130sq ft plus a 56 sq ft loft is roomy and cozy. Someday when I put it on 10 acres I will be the ruler of my own kingdom !
This is one of my fav houses in the world! i got to visit it when i went to Japan!! only the outside of course, someone definitely lives there. i wish i could have one built to live in.
America would be wise to adopt a downsizing mentality. We are so wasteful with our "gotta be big, bigger, biggest" mentality and it's a mentality that will spell our doom on this finite planet with finite, dwindling resources. America will soon be left in the dark if we don't grow up and start being more environmentally conscious. McMansions and Hummers are a sad commentary on our values system.
@earlymusicus People should be able to buy and build whatever they want and can afford. I hate these apocalypse prophets who try to preach how everyone else should run for the mountains, live without cars, without international travel ("just stay in your county exploring things you don't know yet") on vacations and so on. They are the prophets of boring life.
@lotwyo i wouldn't call them prophets, but scientist. And they use numbers and values every single day to prove there is soon going to be a lack of basic resources in our planet. Maybe in 50 or 100 years there will be no more fuel, and that is very soon. We must start to think about new renewal technologies, and of course less contamination in the atmosphere. It's completely stupid to think that people should buy what they can afford, as they are maybe damaging their own planet and other people.
I'd rather use the first floor as kitchen & studio area and take out the doors of the entrance of the music studio in that way it will look even bigger
If he were to allow the walls to shift by using tracks like Gary Chang, a Hong Kong architect who transformed his living space — a 330-square foot apartment — into a super-efficient, 24-room bachelor pad with the help of an of sliding walls, panels, et al gadgets. Then the space would even be better.
Wouldn't it be awesome if an architect could come up with a house similar in structure to Yamashita's Penguin House, with Chang's Domestic Transformer walls, but this time with traditional architectural details -- for example, Greek Mediterranean stucco walls, old-fashioned wooden doors, windows and tiled roof, alongside those expansive glass windows? I'd move right in!
@TachieBillano: I totally agree. The features you mentioned would give the structure more of a "homey atmosphere". Especially, the white outside exterior of the Penguin Home's architeturet looks plastic and not natural: like an oversized milk carton. I'm referring to the color not the shape.
@lovecritters2 or if both of them formed an architecture team and designed houses in america where they have a lot more space. imagine what they could do with the average plot of land in the US.

First off some of these posters need to get a life.
Japan has its own set of issues but they are geniuses. This house was designed for its owner not for any of us. And it wouldn't work for everyone. I personally would love to live in it... with a few mods to suit me. (The guy IS a genius.) I'm from Europe but been living in the US for over 20 years and I'm here to tell you that most Americans have fucked up priorities. For one thing... it's about less, not more. There, I've said it!

Wow, beautiful house and did anyone notice the editing in this video? It's so cool the way when he's drawing, a digital version of the house pops up well, anyway 5 stars :-)
haha FTW my friend got that tattooed on her inner lip. i love this house, i doubt this house would sale for 80,000 but who knows. man it is like heaven there!
@looneypride this is an awesome house i went to visit it when i was in Japan. Tokyo is the most expensive city in the world, so it would cost way more than 80k. in the city i live in there is a house similar to it in a way and cost about 250k. its called the harpoon house. :)
yeah i mean i would love that house! it is so nice! i would make due with the space i had! it may be dangerous for small children though! :) i would like to be a gamer, i have no game systems at all. i guess i could play something online! haha
I think that you're right... it MIGHT cost less, but it could even cost more - depending on whether or not builders are accustomed to using those materials and if special pieces need to be fabricated. For most homes, everything is usually available 'off the shelf' at the hardware store.

It's made out of concrete, it isn't going to collapse. It's probably under much less stress than the average skyscaper. I don't see how the windows would be a problem either, unless it's noise you are getting at, in which case I'd point out that the bedroom is tucked away from any windows exposed to the outside.
You think the architect failed to put an exhaust fan in the toilet room? Or do you think the toilet room is open to the rest of the house? Go to 4:01 and look at the wall below the window. That is the upper inside wall of the toilet room, you can see it is solid. Odors are not free to float into other parts of the house.
Housing in Japan is REALLY expensive. Toyota builds prefab homes there that (sadly) make ZERO sense in the US... just too expensive, and as I recall over $500K us -

n 1908 a lady named sally rusa was in the woods looking for a dog until a ghost came and killed her so if ur reading this u will find a bloody body in your closet hanging there haunting you and will kill you and ur family and if u want to stop this just sends this to 6 vids in 30 mins x
my name is shawna i was 11 when i got pushed infront of a car. the people who killed me got things done much worse. send this to 6 videos if you want to live
the idea is cute.. but is no good for a family of 3. is a single solution. nevertheless.. is a great idea when you want to get independent. one plants a house like that in the front house lawn and ...voilá! but then the parents won't say.. "go to your room.." they'll kick you out of their house ... into yours in just a second! :) ups! one problem.. since is everything about the light... what about planting the house in the overwhelming shaddow os the 5th avenue? "let there be light.."
if u examine the design very closely, you will find that if someone is using the toilet, and someone else is in the glass box, the person in the box can duck down, go to the wall, look down, and watch the other guy go.
really? I examined it closely, and I don't see a way for someone being able to see anyone using the toilet. The shark fin shaped panel in the balcony and one the one below it are translucent panels, not transparent. Hmm, would be interesting to actually find a flaw to the Penguin house, but I doubt he will make a restroom with a chance to make guests/owner convert to perverts.
also does anyone know if the convexity of the windows on the top part of the house concentrates light, something like a magnifying glass? if thats true then that would help warm the house as well
It'd rather live in this house any day than living in a 10,000 sq ft. house or condo. 4 some reason ppl want more and more instead of better or efficiency. Not cool but that's what media did and do to ppl today.
I really dunno anything about climate over there, but they make really good windows nowadays. But it costs. So if this is a small and cheap house, then i would really worry for winter. But if you put some money into insulated windows it isnt really a big problem
It is highly practical given the limits, the client obviously had restrictions on the site's size and looking at the local vernacular, nothing exceeds three stories either. The Japs are an intensely private people, so it came as no surprise to not see a lot of glass. Our western ideals are vastly different from those of our eastern counterparts, and judgement should not be made on personal preference. The house is a success, sure, because it does what's required, not because you like it or not.
I LIKE the house because it is a success, because it does what is required. If it didn't look like it did what I wanted it to, I wouldn't like it. This is a stupid comment.
Wow you are mighty observant I am overweight. It says on your cheap bio you are 19 well when I was 19 it was a pivotal year in my life I quit smoking and started working out. 145 to 185 in 6 weeks time inside 6 months I was 220 perfectly list in Greek. I have had a tornado flip the truck I was in broke my back I do more by noon than you do all day even with my disability. Given your level of respect you don't have a chance of making it to 40 and not have a criminal record/bad credit or/dead.
The kitchen is on the top all groceries have to be carted up the stairs. Great way to insure you loose weight you have to work for every snack. You might say I will drink more water forget sodas too heavy to get up and down with.
I intend to build a home that is handicap accesible you never know what might happen to cause you or a loved one to loose mobility even for a short time. This home is in an entirely dirrernt land where space is needed dearly. They would flip if they saw USA openess.

the idea is cute.. but is no good for a family of 3. is a single solution. nevertheless.. is a great idea when you want to get independent. one plants a house like that in the front house lawn and ...voilá! but then the parents won't say.. "go to your room.." they'll kick you out of their house ... into yours in just a second! :) ups! one problem.. since is everything about the light... what about planting the house in the overwhelming shaddow os the 5th avenue? "let there be light.."

if u examine the design very closely, you will find that if someone is using the toilet, and someone else is in the glass box, the person in the box can duck down, go to the wall, look down, and watch the other guy go.

really? I examined it closely, and I don't see a way for someone being able to see anyone using the toilet. The shark fin shaped panel in the balcony and one the one below it are translucent panels, not transparent. Hmm, would be interesting to actually find a flaw to the Penguin house, but I doubt he will make a restroom with a chance to make guests/owner convert to perverts.

wow it's SO tiny on the outside but the inside looks like a normal size house and normal sized rooms! This is so cool!

also does anyone know if the convexity of the windows on the top part of the house concentrates light, something like a magnifying glass? if thats true then that would help warm the house as well

teentitans0789 2 years ago
Even with the shades, I'm talking if there are like other people in the house. The rooms are wide open.

It'd rather live in this house any day than living in a 10,000 sq ft. house or condo. 4 some reason ppl want more and more instead of better or efficiency. Not cool but that's what media did and do to ppl today.

I think its a wonderful house.
I can see so many up sides to it.
1. much easier to clean up & keep clean
2. I'll be less likely to lose or misplace stuff there
3. I like the cozy look of it
Its just awesome

I really dunno anything about climate over there, but they make really good windows nowadays. But it costs. So if this is a small and cheap house, then i would really worry for winter. But if you put some money into insulated windows it isnt really a big problem

It is highly practical given the limits, the client obviously had restrictions on the site's size and looking at the local vernacular, nothing exceeds three stories either. The Japs are an intensely private people, so it came as no surprise to not see a lot of glass. Our western ideals are vastly different from those of our eastern counterparts, and judgement should not be made on personal preference. The house is a success, sure, because it does what's required, not because you like it or not.

I LIKE the house because it is a success, because it does what is required. If it didn't look like it did what I wanted it to, I wouldn't like it. This is a stupid comment.
By the way, it's JAPANESE, thx.

Wow you are mighty observant I am overweight. It says on your cheap bio you are 19 well when I was 19 it was a pivotal year in my life I quit smoking and started working out. 145 to 185 in 6 weeks time inside 6 months I was 220 perfectly list in Greek. I have had a tornado flip the truck I was in broke my back I do more by noon than you do all day even with my disability. Given your level of respect you don't have a chance of making it to 40 and not have a criminal record/bad credit or/dead.

The kitchen is on the top all groceries have to be carted up the stairs. Great way to insure you loose weight you have to work for every snack. You might say I will drink more water forget sodas too heavy to get up and down with.
I intend to build a home that is handicap accesible you never know what might happen to cause you or a loved one to loose mobility even for a short time. This home is in an entirely dirrernt land where space is needed dearly. They would flip if they saw USA openess.
