Bored with run-of-the-mill suburban Japanese apartments? Perhaps putting the grand piano in the center of the living room would improve the situation. Or a kitchen table that extends like a giant pontoon into the living room to form a large dining table? Or perhaps you might fancy a house into which you can drive your electric vehicle?
These and many other ideas are currently on display at a specially constructed venue at Tokyo's waterside Odaiba district in an exhibition whose aim is nothing less than to revolutionize the Japanese public's attitude to housing.
"House Vision 2013 Tokyo Exhibition" is the brainchild of renowned graphic designer and art director Kenya Hara, and it represents the first attempt to present to the public the ideas that he and many diverse collaborators have formulated in the House Vision think tank that they established two years ago.
