Akira Sakamoto

Increasingly over the past couple of years, I have been turning to modern minimalist Japanese architecture for inspiration and ideas. Akira Sakamoto is one of *the* reigning superstars of Japanese minimalism. You can see more images of his residential work at his website. Sakamoto's architecture is a reinterpretation of traditional Japanese architecture based on the principles of modern, minimalist design. Our barn house is, in some fashion, its own kind of reinterpretation.
