White and wood may be common enough when it comes to the soothing simplicity of Japanese-inspired designs. So too may creative storage options be less than unique. Still, when everything is assembled masterfully, as in this striking house from the designers at Indot (with photos from Hey!Cheese) the results can be quite impressive and indeed quite unique.

The space is designed linearly, such that the living room shares one wall with one bedroom, while that bedroom shares one wall with the second bedroom. Two long and narrow hallways on either side of the open rooms connect each separate space. That makes this home an ideal design for either a couple with guests who come frequently, or perhaps who are caring for an aging parent.

Navigating the space is simple and elegant natural wood flooring is the perfect complement to white paneled walls. Really, simplicity is the name of the game in this creative little home.

Creativity truly shines in what we can only imagine is the master bedroom of sorts. A lofted cubicle provides the ultimate cozy reading nook, overlook the bed and bedroom below and offering a sort of levitating privacy.

And privacy is certainly lacking in this mostly open house. A window runs down the entire length of the space and though curtains and blinds can be flipped closed, there is no keeping secrets in this house.

Or is there? The fun surprise we find in this house is that hidden beneath those lovely wooden floors – which can also easily double as an oversized window seat – is a ton of storage. It is impossible to look at a home like this and not begin to wonder where all the things are in this minimalist expanse. The answer is, just like the telltale heart, underneath the floorboards.
