Hi, this is my first time to submit a post here. Globally, a lot of architects/designers do "greenwash" -- they put in some gadgets and call themselves green, but apparently being green is a lot more complex than that. Here Japanese architecture Jo Nagasaka shows us a good example -- Jo Nagasaka condenses his home into 3-meter-cubed space, he names it paco house!

Sort of reminiscent of a cardboard box under the freeway overpass. I guess it's a concept house, not a real home - I mean it's photographed within another interior space.

I don't see a kitchen,so it's hard to call this a house. This reminds me of a dorm room.

There might be some sense in a sleeping room that is insulated and would allow all other heat in the house to be turned off at night. For me, blankets only go so far.

That would not suit me. I am not a believer in a big house, but Paco's place just isn't a house.
