true the homes give a open yet closed feeling... with the openess of the gardens or free areas and sometimes open screens to closeness of closed paper screens where you can only see a shadowof the figure on the other side... :D

I'm constantly surrounded by those gorgeous houses and filled with envy. I've decided that when I get my own house, I'm going to hire an architect from Japan to come over and design it and the garden for me and get everything I need. I don't care if it bankrupts me, I'm going to have my Japanese house!

How about a Canadian architect that specialises in Japanese architecture? However, able to withstand a modern Canadian winter, and another specialty in green building, lol?

Not me.

Yet.

Nope, but then again, I haven't started back in school yet nor met anyone. You could look up your local architecture association and see if they have anyone listed. You might be surprised.

When I go back to school, I'm taking architecture or interior design, it all depends on how much money I can manage to scrape together for my first year.

I plan on specialising in green design and japanese architecture, if I can swing it.

...Which is why it's so f***ing difficult to learn.... .... goes away to sulk over poor grade on last Japanese test....

Ichiko, that's a big work load! And a lot of kanji to learn... Good luck.
