Canopy House Designs: Home of Wakayama

This cool canopy house design by Japanese architecture firm Yoshio Oono Architect & Associates is wrapped up in its roof – literally. The home’s brightly colored canopy encloses the interior, leaving triangular openings in its massive orange shell. Peek inside and you’ll discover the open concept house plan is bright and airy. Enter through sliding glass doors, which open the home to the outdoor entertaining areas – actually, they turn it into one! And thanks to the canopy, the house enjoys this open aesthetic yet still offers relative privacy. Full of character at every turn, this home certainly has its quirks. The wood ceilings give the main floor a warm, homey aesthetic, while upstairs the feeling is bright, airy and open. Yoshio Oono Architect & Associates
