The Compact Montblanc House, Japan

Japanese-design studio Studio Velocity has designed Montblanc House. Completed in 2009, the simple but chic home can be found in Okazaki, Japan.

The plan of the house included a small beauty shop situated on the first floor. The home belongs to a young couple with two children.

The plot is surrounded by neighbouring houses in three directions and is in a quiet residential area. Majority of the houses in the area have two floors and come with fantastic views of mountains in the distance. Images courtesy of Kentaro Kurihara.
