The placid atmosphere of this apartment is palpable with one look at this minimalist apartment. The absence of clutter is a definite contributor to the Zen vibe it gives off.
Design by Hiroaki Matsuyama
The apartment cleverly conceals the kitchen facing the sitting area with full-length folding doors that are inspired by traditional Japanese folding screens known as byobu.

Props to the designer who made it look like those mysterious secret passages we often see in movies!
This brick feature wall camouflages the bomb shelter door so well it is almost imperceptible to the untrained eye.
