Remarkable Contemporary Home by Mizuishi Architect Atelier & Luxury Furniture, Property, Travel & Interior Design | Adelto - StumbleUpon Remarkable and contemporary home by Mizuishi Architect Atelier Mizuishi Architect Atelier have designed the River Side House in Horinouchi, an incredible, comfortable and contemporary house which stretches the imagination in terms of perception, space and aesthetics. The exterior of the house is purposely underwhelming, which merely adds to the magic of the residence. Built on a tiny, triangle site, the River Side House combines efficiency with luxury living in a way never seen before. The interior of the home is inconceivable – taking into account the exterior – and houses surprisingly spacious, well-organized and comfortable living areas. Sleekness, elegance and simplicity are key aspects in this house, as the architects have distorted space to fit an excellent sized kitchen and comfortable living space on the ground floor, while a bedroom, bathroom and loft area are all perfectly fitted on the first floor.
