Home Architecture Talk
See inside a modern Japanese home?
Kind of an odd question, but I've been curious about this for awhile. Does anyone know of a site where you can get a virtual tour or see a lot of pictures from inside a Japanese home? I'm really into architecture so floor plans would be cool as well. It's just that, aside from anime, I have no idea what a Japanese home looks like. I was curious as to how modern (western) they could look in this day and how traditional some look. Also, and mostly what the differences inside would be between a modest living family and perhaps a richer one? I've tried searching through google to not much avail. I suppose I'm not that resourceful. Anything would be cool, personal pictures, sites with pictures or even detailed accounts of how it is inside would all be very much appreciated.

- http://www.rkb-housingpark.com/virtual/index.html It's a virtual tour of "model houses" advertised by housing makers. It's very modern and no tatami-room there, but almost all Japanese houses still have at least 1 tatami-room in our houses. Click either QuickTime版 or Flash簡易版 below the picture to see movies. In Flash version, you can horizontally change the view by moving a cursor right or left. Scroll speed becomes slow when a mouse is moved to the center and becomes fast when it's moved towards an edge. In Quick Time version, you can look around by moving a cursor up&down and right&left. To zoom in, use Shift key. To zoom out , use Ctrl key.
