It becomes exciting when these worlds of tradition and modernity meet and interact with each other in terms of design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis volume offers a multifaceted overview of contemporary Japanese residential architecture and introduces the art of creating spaces that combine functionality and spirituality. It offers unique insights into the principles that make them so special and shows how living spaces are not only designed but also experienced. The selected projects invite to understand and reinterpret the essence of Japanese living cultures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e192\u003c\/span\u003e pages\u003cspan class=\"col col-6 md-col-4\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e241 x 279 x 50 mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Thames \u0026 Hudson","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":56988708536693,"sku":"BK-3088","price":39.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/8509\/6991\/files\/JapaneseHomesMinimalism_Balance_Elegance1.jpg?v=1774279817","url":"https:\/\/www.mij.co.uk\/products\/japanese-homes-minimalism-balance-elegance","provider":"Made In Japan UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
