Reminscent in structure of a windmill from the Netherlands, this private Japanese home by architects Ryoko & Keisuke Masuda is certainly unique. Covering three floors the building houses sleeping, eating a bathing areas within the outter walls of the cylindrical structure. Constructed around a circular steel frame and clad entirely in wood the building lets in natural light through various irregular breaks in the exterior wall.
