Dancing Living House by Junichi Sampei

Japanese architect Junichi Sampei of A.L.X. (Architect Label Xain) came up with a new house that can combine the needs of a home with those of a dancing studio.

Yokohama, Japan

Located in Yokohama and designed as a single-family residence combined with a dance studio, this three-story reinforced concrete building is private and open to the sky, and best of all it has plenty of parking, which comes at a premium in Japan. The concrete building has a big glass corner that invites sunlight in and features white styled futuristic exterior to enhance the dynamic mood and to bring in fresh energies all day long.
