This villa in Yokohama, Kanagawa, Japan is the brainchild of architect Junichi Sampei from A.L.X. architects (Architect Label Xain). It houses a family of 3, and a dance studio.

When seen from the outside, you immediately notice those high white walls, without any windows. But still, inside you find an oasis of light and space, all thanks to the genius use of transporting daylight from the roof into the rest of the three stories.
