The Japanese know well how to combine traditional style with simple modern pure minimalist design and have influenced many of the world's leading architects.
Here with this little house on wheels is a fusion of 'western' exterior styling with some of the Japanese philosophies one would see in a traditional Tea House such as Wabi-Sabi and the use of natural materials. We see the use of the wonderful Tatami mats too in this delightful one hundred and thirty four sq foot house.
There's more about living with less here...

The Main Rest And Recreation Area On The Flying Tortoise...
The main rest and recreation area on The Flying Tortoise. Geraniums, salad greens and herbs can be seen growing in containers out the back window. Roller blinds give privacy and there is a full width storage shelf high above the bed. Using different cushions allow simple mood and decor changes. Small pieces of New Zealand art are displayed throughout the quirky, tiny but spacious home with a style combining simplistic Scandinavian and Japanese design... Scandinese perhaps. A warm and inviting interior with the ambiance of a small upmarket studio apartment.
