Wohnkonzepte - Housing in Japan presents the latest developments in residential projects from recent years. In addition to lavish photospreads and layout depictions, a selection of detailed solutions are presented that can be adapted to western standards.

In the densely populated urban areas of Japan, small houses exhibiting unusual and surprising spatial solutions are emerging on narrow strips of land that would normally be considered unsuitable for home construction. Yet it's not only the clever use of space, but also the tactile use of materials, and a feel for contemporary aesthetics skilfully combined with traditional elemeents of constructions, that have fascinated architects outside Japan. The fact that most of the constructive solutions do not correspond to Central European standars is irrelevant: It's the innovative approaches that serve as a source of inspiration.
