2-Story 4-bedroom Japanese House Plan

This two-storey house is designed in the Japanese Minka style. The house is surrounded on all sides by a veranda, so you can relax under the roof on either side of the house in all weathers. On the ground floor at the front of the house is a large living room combined with the kitchen. In addition to the wide windows, the room is lit by clear-story windows. The ceiling is decorated with visible rafters supported by wooden posts and beams. At the rear of the house there are two bedrooms and a bathroom. A spacious hallway between the rooms leads to the rear veranda. An open staircase leads from the living room to the first floor. The spacious attic overlooks the living room. It leads to two extra bedrooms and a shared bathroom. 
A Japanese style carport for two cars can be built anywhere on the property.
