Penguin House - Think and Build Small!

A Japanese architect has created an amazing home. The entire house has a footprint the size of a two-car garage. But step inside and the house feels much larger.
Architect Yasuhiro Yamashita allows a building's environment to dictate its structure. In this case, he tackled a lack of space. That's a common problem in Japan. The country has a population of nearly 130 million. And they all live in an area slightly smaller than Montana. Space can be hard to come by.
Yamashita had to build a small house that didn't feel cramped. He considered how design and light affect our perception. The result is amazing. The home feels spacious despite its size.
