In Nagasaki, Japan is a house of wood and stone that was built in a quiet residential area at the top of the hill in Sasebo. This home in the Nagasaki Prefecture features a living area, dining area, office space and the Japanese-style room on the second floor which could also be turned into a 23 tatami mats free open space by removing the movable screen on the Japanese style room. One feature of the house that has caught attention is its line of indirect ceiling lights that snake throughout the interior of the home. The snake light of the house is designed with a continuous style from the red cedar floor through the stone wall TV board that lead to the ceiling on the top, thus creating a rhythmic sense within the home’s modern style living and dining space. The line of the light starts from the floor, then up to the wall, across the living area and then to the dining area and ends at the kitchen. Let us take a look at the images of the house below.
