It becomes exciting when these worlds of tradition and modernity meet and interact with each other in terms of design.\u003cbr\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 you to understand and reinterpret the essence of Japanese living cultures.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Chris Van Uffelen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Braun\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/24\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.6lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.20h x 9.70w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783037683088","brand":"Braun","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45397996798089,"sku":"9783037683088","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_1d3b263c-62bb-4105-89f3-f26cb99c9f97.jpg?v=1773726864","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/japanese-homes-minimalism-balance-elegance-9783037683088","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
