Takeshi Hosaka Architects have designed the Inside Out house in Tokyo, Japan. This is the project home for couples and two cats, which is based in Tokyo. This project was started based on the idea that humans and cats lived in the same house, from the cat who lived in a house designed for humans – and finally this idea the concept “. A house in which you feel are out ‘  The shape and irregular rectangular building was decided according to the site irregularly shaped square.  Side of the roof and wall volume carefully designed vents, with light, wind or rain to get into the building.  Plants grown in soil under a roof opening that allowed rain to the entry box for the bedroom and bathroom located in the outer volume entering and living room located on the upper deck box, bedroom and bathroom of the box.

In the volume, there is a space where you will find yourself outside: light, wind or rain can get in, so that way your life depends on the weather, but in this house, you will always be a positive attempt to another photo  to find life.  Space on the floor where the rain falls depends on the wind, so you will try to wet areas where you do not find.  If you live longer, you know, from your experience, many things about the relationship between the extent to which the rain on one side, and the location of objects, furniture and yourself on the other side.  And, no air conditioning in this house.  During the transition period or summer season, both in humans and cats live in a natural draft, or, in other words, they live in an environment similar to the air.  On windy days or cold, you can stay in a box indoors or living room with sliding glass doors closed.  Image and many other items collected is not in the room alone, but many are also positioned in the outer shelf as far as possible.  Cat walking on thin lines that do not fall into the rain and find a place in the sun for a nap.  The couple lived above the living room with glass doors, sometimes even on a rainy day, they often live where they feel themselves to be outside even when inside.

People who live in modern times efforts in a modern way to reduce energy consumption and coexistence with nature – is a positive effort to discover which way of life that may be beyond the issue of energy and this in turn, outside  way of life, leading to important themes of human mental activity.  The couple and a cat who has lived in the apartment is now pioneering a new picture everyday life in the house in which they are dependent on weather outside.
