This home was created by Nakayma Architects in Sapporo, Japan. The idea of the home was to separate the private areas from the public area as much as possible.  Locating the two bedrooms and bathroom as far apart from the dining room, living room, and kitchen.  This is done to purposely extend the distinction between private and public areas.  The exterior of the home is covered in  steel leaving a naturally rusting effect on the home.  The interior features an interesting display of lighting created by geometric shapes in the bathroom.
