We came across these photos on the Les Petites Choses de Piou blog. We can't seem to find more information about this particular house. We know that Ryue Nishizawa from SANAA, a Japanese architecture firm, has something to do with it. The SANAA chair designed for Nextmaruni Chair Museum is present in the pictures as well. To learn more about their work check out the designboom blog. If you have any information on this house, please comment below, as we would love to see more of the interior.

Shaw's Original Fir...
Somehow I'm okay with the possibility of hearing "can you pass the butter...and the soap" as long as it is within that space.
I respectfully disagree. The plants totally ruin the serenity of an otherwise very calming space. They look piecemeal and, as you said, arbitrary, but in a chaotic way.
Can I has composition?
kellylc, I was moreso talking about the fourth photo, not-so-much the rest of them. The sporadic placement of the plants throw me off, as well.
And I respectfully disagree with the disagreement. I think the plants add a bit of needed wildness and life to the space. Sometimes I like a bit of disorganization...carefully organized compositions can be monotonous after awhile.
*sigh* that is the kind of space i need
I really like these hits of colour in a white space. It reminds me of Piou's House.

The photos don't seem real though. They have a weird hazy lighting effect.
The space: beautiful. The arrangement: a little underwhelming. My eye doesn't know where to go. The rug is smack-dab in the middle of the floor, connected to nothing rather than tucked in under the bed or slightly off-center. The plants are spindly and sort of uniformly spaced, which gives the room a slight greenhouse effect.
I cannot imagine a more lovely space to wake up in, though. The natural light is amazing.
Love the space and love the plants, but not necessarily just like this. My first thought is that some of them need better pots.
I'm not sure whether to love or hate that shower (you know, you just hop out and sit down to breakfast in your bathrobe.) But I would definitely hope the trees would grow faster, if that's the neighbor's window overlooking the bathroomdining.
