20 of 25
Architects Fumio Hirakawa and Marina Topunova of 24d-Studio turned a 35-year-old post-and-beam home in Kobe, Japan, into a live/work space. The facade features a yellow balcony that the architects say is intended to spark a smile and make a statement against the "monotonous and dull color palette" of traditional Japanese neighborhoods.
