Very often in Japan, the limit between outdoors and indoors is pretty blurred. It’s great when you’re in a tea house in the Ritsurin Garden. Not so much like now in the middle of winter when it’s almost as cold inside as it is outside.
On a completely different note, just a little reminder to invite you to follow Ogijima.com to these various social networks if you don’t already do so:

This is a big part of what I like about Japanese houses the indoor-outdoor feel achieved by sliding doors. This design principle is being used more and more on new houses in Australia and it is creating some amazing rooms.
I guess in Australia it makes more sense actually, but here, I really wonder why they extended the concept well into Winter. 🙂
Yes, that is true! It makes perfect sense in the summer here in Australia when you can open up the whole house to get that cool breeze through 🙂
It’s as cold inside as out here too – winter has finally made it to France!
But it shouldn’t be cold inside in your case, should it? 🙂
