KRE House designed by Takuya Tsuchida is located in the posh Shirokane area of Tokyo. In case you wonder who owns so many cars in the middle of Tokyo: the client of this 9 car garage house, who is in his 40s, runs a clothing and restaurant business. Cheers to the Lamborghini Countach Anniversary edition :D
