Time to go reserve my parking space!

500,000 USD for THAT? Tokyo really that pricey?

holy... i would go nuts.

for that price you can get a 4000 sq foot luxury mansion in arizona :D

It probably has more square footage than a new 1 bedroom condo in Vancouver..

wow, i don't think i could ever live in a place like that

i thought sharing a wall with my parents were bad, damn they share a bed almost.

thats crazy use of space! im fascinated by this sort of architectural designs... such an outrageous amount u have to pay just for a parking spot

Not to jack the thread but i thought i'd add this even though it has been posted


Pretty cool stuff i must say.
Even makes Laneway houses look like a mansion

What about a miniature mobile home?

Hrm, so it's about the size of a Vancouver DT special... :troll:

how does he jerk off at night ... he prob jizz hits his mother sometimes by accident

wow, I love it! but it's still pretty damn expensive

whoa thats pretty neat

Tokyo has a certain quirky culture of its own. I wouldn't be surprised if the owner is never home and is primarily occupied by the parents only.

Before, Tokyo had the reputation that it's workers just go home to sleep; nowadays they work so much, don't even bother commuting home at all. It's why capsule hotels is such a thriving industry there; that and manga cafes and Karaoke bars.

Japanese architecture never ceases to amaze me. Pure genius in my opinion.
And +1 to Noir's comment.

Everyone passing by can watch you change. Basically a spectical for the entire neighboorhood, but, I guess it can work for some people.

So if it's 3 stories it's the space of parking spaces.

he has to learn the art of being silent. and not using lotion

that's ironic.

he drives an older mercedes 190E in japan yet he says he has no money.

i wouldn't mind living in a place like that as a bachelor suite but that's too small to be shared by another person. especially if it's my mom.

I saw this show, and crazy use of space. You have to do whatever you can now.

Ultra small and slim house in Japan...that's not the only thing that's small in Japan :troll:

It amazes me how beautiful that house is. The area this guy lives in is one of the poorest areas in HK. The outside is horrendous but the inside is a penthouse! Or atleast designed like one

This idea is cool, but what if you have some hot lady friends over and suddenly needed to get rid of that burrito you ate yesterday? :D

If the washroom were a distinct area, I can see this working though.

or 1/2 a bungalow in vancouver ...
