Kokuban House by Hari Architects

I’ve always wanted an entire wall in my house to be a blackboard. And with the availability of paint that transforms any surface into a blackboard, it’s never been easier. But here is a home that was designed completely around blackboard walls. Well, that’s not entirely true. Even with a name like Kokuban (blackboard) House, there’s a lot going, like the multiple boxes that dictate various functions, the fun tunnel-like doorway and the use of different types of facades – both indoors and out – that smudge the clear boundaries between inside and outside.

But, at its essence, the architecture, which is the work of Tokushima-based Hari Architects, is about creating a fun space for a family to enjoy their precious time together. For more inspiration on blackboard walls in your home, check out these awesome posts.
