House in Nishimikuni is a minimalist house located in Osaka, Japan, designed by Arbol Design. The defining characteristic of this home is the encompassing garden that is surrounded by high walls to obstruct views from neighbors and pedestrians. The home was designed for a retired couple seeking for a peaceful retreat, thus a one-story wooden residence with a garden was conceived. The trees that surround the house are further illuminated by spotlights, which give off a soothing aura in the evenings. (2)
