The HYH House in Ota-ku, Tokyo in a quiet residential area that was designed by Urban Architects (UAo).  This house has a total floor area of 161.35 square-meters and is an open-concept building.  Similarly to the Frank Lloyd Wright House, the HYH House’s windows were carefully placed for the viewer to observe the outside landscape, while at the same time preventing outsiders from viewing the inside of the house.

Another thing that is interesting about this house is that noise travels far within this house.  It was designed to reflect the natural environment using acoustics.  The building was designed to house a family, where you could hear anyone from anywhere inside the house.
