HOUSE kn by Kochi Architect's Studio
00/00/0000, 00:00 | FUTURE HOUSE NOW
Nice treatment of parking space too. My pet peeve is nice homes ruined by ugly attached garages and bad driveways. HOUSE kn gets it right.
Via the girl in the green dress. It's a wonderful design blog, so please do click over and take a look. You'll be delighted.

furniture designs, focusing on lighting. she takes mundane objects that are significant to her, assembling them in
