Tiny house by Kengo Kuma is perfect for the minimalist nomad

All wood everything Japanese architect Kengo Kuma brings a flair of minimalism to his new project, ?jyubako,? a tiny mobile home that?s perfect for the nomad looking to strip down to the bare necessities in life.
Developed in collaboration with Japanese outdoor goods company Snow Peak, the structure is wrapped in wood panelling, inside and out, seeking to fully incorporate nature into the design. When the windows are fully closed and flush with the walls, the exterior of the house looks like a timber box and resembles a ?jyubako,? or Japanese bento box, which gives it its name. With practicality in mind, the simple, trailer-like dwelling can be adapted to various uses. While it may appear a bit too bare right now, rest assured the project is still in its early stages and will be fleshed out with additional elements in the process.
