The architect designed his small 10m x 5m house for himself and his family in his parent’s back garden.
 
The tatami mat was used indoor and out for multiple functions.

Seike is considered one of Japan's most important post-war architects.

This is the dream. I used to have the same model Lambretta, LD Mark II.


There was a model of the house on display.
