Inside a Custom Luxury House in Japan

Very few nails were used. Instead, traditional Japanese architectural techniques similar to building a temple or shrine. Today we are going inside a brand new custom-built home in Japan; Join us as we take a peek into the process of having a designer home built in Kyushu Japan, and take a peek at the final house in all its glory.
And @Dogen will be dropping a much more detailed video on his channel as well! Showing more of the houses secrets, rooms, and hidden features!

I love how this house is really about "how do we make traditional designs better". It feels so Japanese but at the same time so personal.

Congrats to Dogen for this amazing house! Japanese housing architecture is one of the most fascinating with its blending of nature. Hope he enjoys his dream

[christopherjohnson]

I always love the wood in Japanese design. It’s a great cozy feeling and closer to nature.

[grafikpapst]

Honestly, this is the kinda home I would love to have. Though I will probably never get there, the way proptery and building prices are going in general. But I'm really glad for Dogen. Its very clear from his conduct that he puts alot into his work and its good to see him having the oppurtunity to get something so nice for himself and his family.

That closet idea is really unique, as is the idea of having no where to "hide" from the family. But I wonder who that will affect children in their teens, Im pretty sure everyone can remember how important it was to have your own space, and place to hide things (even if there is nothing wrong with what you're hiding) having that part of the house thats your own is important for your development in my opinion. Not that the kids wont find a way to do that, they always do, just my first impression. Also does it really snow that far south?

[AQWorldsRay]

I was really curious how the air conditioning situation would work一 Interesting to see that there is centralized air conditioning in the house! Definitely uncommon in a lot of Japanese homes! So *cries in poor student debt*

[CodyCleggMusic]

First thought when they walked to the bathroom area: "is that a pullup bar?". Love that it's integrated directly. What a beautiful house overall.

[KamrunNagla]

The feel of Japanese houses are so different to those in the UK, cant wait to drool over all the wood and warm lighting.

[anthonymiro]

This honestly one of the most beautiful and coziest house I have ever seen. The architecture has truly captured what it means for a house to be called a home.

[tomatha]

This is a fantastic video, love seeing not only the build process and the final reveal but seeing the architect and company CEO being interviewed. This is definitely a tremendous house and you can see not only the passion to build a comfortable family home but also the fact that they listened to Dogen and his wife when it came to creating a space that they want. You definitely get the feeling that it's comfortable and cosy in the house, while the lighting is certainly more subdued it doesn't seem to have negatively impacted the space which is wonderful. Also if Dogen wants to record more videos at night there's plenty of light for clear videos so he's not going to have to worry about setting up bright LED lights in order to make good quality videos

[brucehutcheson]

Hi to both of you. I have been in the building trade for nearly 40 years now in the UK and construction methods change regularly but this build has blown my mind. This is truly a work of art.You were very lucky to land a architect with such vision.

[eugeneh.]

Amazing looking place. Incredible!!! Definitely a dream home for many!! Kudos to Dogen for all the years of hard work to get to this point and Norm for documenting this amazing achievement!!!
Brilliant stuff guys~!!! Keep up the amazing work~!!

[christianinfinity]

I’ve always admired the way Japan has combined modern and traditional together. We could learn a lot from them.

[megamcee]

That is an insanely absolutely amazing house! I love every bit of design in it, outside of maybe the "always seeing the kids" thing, just cause I love my privacy a bit too much (especially when I was a teenage rebel). Can't even imagine how much that house cost, but, whatever it is, it's more than worth it imo.

[PJgalz]

your 2 daughters will definitely love sharing a closet with the entire family when they start growing up

[patrickmcguigan]

18:09 "an incredible house so far..." Dogen being modest and underselling it somewhat! The house is absolutely stunning. A beautiful piece of thoughtful, considered, clever, meaningful architecture and design. Not to mention the craftsmanship! I mean, good God it's beautiful!

[joaoclimaco]

The garden besides the bath is such an awesome touch. For sure the thing I liked the most in the hole house. Amazing project

[tubathecoolkid]

The natural wood and the white walls with the Japanese style within the modern style just looks so good

[Kaitlynde]

What an amazing home! So many gorgeous design features. Congrats to Dogen and his family!
