Two light grey parallelepiped blocks sit quietly one on top of the other on the mountainside of Izu-san, as if they are clock hands and the time reads ten to two exactly as they are set in the plot. These two parallelepiped boxes stand out for the simplicity of their form which is so pure creating a luxurious residence. www.yatzer.com Posted: 01/28/2010 digg | del.icio.us | stumble | email this
