Set inside a simple 3.3.m x 10m white box with no windows and only one rectangular door, creating LoveHouse fulfilled architect Takeshi Hosaka’s dream to live in a house that feels like you are living outside. Entering the home, you’re greeted by a curved courtyard and outdoor staircase leading to the second floor of the house. The top, often used as a place to sit, read and drink coffee, leads into the main living space past a Griffiths Ash Tree and through a series of wooden framed glass pocket doors. The main living area is kept simple, with minimal furniture and only a candle for light. The adjoining kitchen accommodates a 2.7m counter, 3 burner gas stove, an integrated fridge and dishwasher neatly squeezed into a small space between the counter and the wall. The first floor, once the bedroom, is now used as a relaxation space, and also contains the toilet and bathroom. The home's thoughtful design and indoor/outdoor lifestyle connect daily life with nature in a way seldom seen in cities.
