Villa Saitan is inspired by nature

The exterior of this apartment building located in Kyoto, Japan, is inspired by nature. The outside of the Villa Saitan building, designed by Eastern Design Office, is covered with leaf shaped holes that add design and character to the structure. The segregation of the building into independent apartments with balconies is completely hidden here. Instead it is built to be viewed as one big house. It looks very attractive, but the leaf-shaped holes seem to be blocking sunlight. But when a person breaks rules in creative designing, the result is always controversial. The amount of sunlight let in aside, the villa looks beautiful.
