\nA while back, we showed you a very small house with a tobacco store on the first floor (A SMALL TOBACCO SHOP IN OSAKA<\/i><\/a>) designed by Osaka based Hideshi Abe<\/b>. We received several images of his recent project completed in Osaka for a couple with two children. This time with a generous site area, Abe had more space and volume to explore his design. <\/p>\n
