But nice looking building interior. Could have been a nice cottage. Whay do Architects in Japan still be able to do this 'wrong' architecture? The society is not critical to it, I assume.

I do think there are some strange parts of the plan though. I find the main entrance and the staff rooms being on a seemingly random third grid is awkward. Why are there "extra rooms" why not just have 9 rooms with bigger living space or an extra bathroom or even 10 rooms. However, I love the use of corrugated steel for the facade and in general the spaces are exciting. There are some beautiful spaces and great natural lighting.

I like how the communal places are cut from a continuous frame, and at those places skylights collect, allowing amazing light. AD staff, can you edit out Flame? yeah, i had the same thought as Macpod.
