He turned his childhood home in the Japanese countryside into a multipurpose property with 12 round, wooden houses. Now he's trying to sell it for $1.58 million — check it out.
When Kodawari Mizuno returned to his childhood home in the city of Ena, in Gifu, Japan, after living in the US for eight years, he realized that the buildings on his family's land were deteriorating with age.
There are a total of 12 buildings: one main house for Mizuno and his family, and 11 smaller, dome-shaped structures meant to be leased out. Aesthetics aside, a circular floor plan can help improve air ventilation within the structure as well as withstand freak weather and seismic shocks, he said. The entire property was built in two parts: The main house that Mizuno shares with his wife, Kero, was built in fall 2004, while the other buildings were completed in spring 2010.ArchangelEnaMizuno's home sits in one corner of the property while the 11 smaller domes are in a spiral that resembles a nautilus shell.
