Windowless Cubed Houses

A Skylight-Only Abode in Obama Japan by Suppose Design

This sleek, slightly raised windowless house resembles a transport container but once you get inside a ceiling covered in skylights reveals an airy, modern home. Suppose Design created this 301.29 square meter windowless house located in Obama, Japan.

The entire steel structure is suspended above the ground using reinforced concrete elements allow for parking underneath the abode. The windowless house also incorporates a courtyard and seamlessly incorporates a strong connection between the exterior and interior.
