Japanese architecture contains Zen philosophy, which contains the character. So, no wonder multifunctional aspects of efficiency and space becomes an important element for creating a quiet and simple.

Japanese-style interior is likely minimal. However, sometimes people do not really know how minimalist. "Because there is actually a modern-minimalist and traditional, minimalist," says interior designer Rohadi.

The definition of modern-minimalist recognition of shape and materials of the existing furniture in the room. According to Rohadi, Japanese furniture forms are very simple and the boxes just as characteristic of minimalist furniture. Another case in which a lot of minimalist traditional furniture made of wood, but still not too much detail.

"In addition, many use modern minimalist furniture made of stainless steel or aluminum which gives the impression of hi-tech," said Rohadi, which is listed as a member of Indonesian Society of Interior Designers (HDII).

In a Japanese house is very strong going aura of simplicity, was not much about the furniture is placed, and deliberately designed built-ins. Selection of furniture over the function, rather than as a display. Form of a cube or even dominate the geometry of the box furniture, ornaments, ornament display wall.

One characteristic of Japanese-style dwelling is paved with tatami floor. Tatami is a kind of carpet or rather a thick mat made of woven straw. Usually placed in the dining room Lesbian Japanese style.

In Japan, houses are designed to suit the climate and culture there. "In earthquake-prone countries like Japan, most homes are built nonpermanen, so wood and paper into the main material of the Japanese house," said architect Ovi Mulyono of PT Viosa Nahura Mighty.


Japanese home-style inspiration can be adapted to fit built in Indonesia.However, it can not be directly modeled as the original house in the country there.There are several things to consider, among other issues, and cultural climate."Because the Japanese had built a house there own rules and the four seasons and circumstances influenced the cultures of people," said Store, brief.

Therefore, if you want to adapt the Japanese-style residential buildings, should consider the climate, culture, and security in Indonesia. Japanese homes generally use paper as wall materials, windows, and room divider. "But, it may not be used in Indonesia due to security issues. If of paper, can be easily torn," said Ovi.

However, materials of this paper can be tricked to use substitutes, such as the acrylic is used as a modification of the boundary wall of the house style of Japan.

"It could also be used as a typical Japanese house door in the form of a sliding door," said Rohadi.
