Maybe you checked out our previous Fun Link Friday on the inventive floating Japanese tea house designed by David Jameson in DC. Or maybe you happened upon the CNN report some time back about the guy who designed a house for him and his mom on a parking lot-sized plot of land. Upon cleaning out my bookmarked links I discovered I’d tucked away another gem of Japanese architecture and design: The House. Estimated at 1.8 billion yen (21.8 million USD), The House is located in Tokyo’s Minami-Azabu and may be the most expensive 1-Bedroom apartment in the world.
