An interesting, if a little spartan, house in Tokyo via Detail Daily. I like the concrete, dark wood, salt and light filtered from above. Imagine it with some lovely furniture from the likes of The Lollipop Shoppe or one of its many competitors (I have no affiliation) and it becomes calmer and less stark.
