A House Awaiting Death is a small house with a very unique design and backstory as to why it was built. It is located in Mie Prefecture, Japan and only 150 meters away from the waves of a sea, which gives the inspiration for the interesting shapes of the windows of the windows on the front side of the house. The windows were created to look as if a wave were crashing into the house.

The House Awaiting Death gets its name from a unique and morbid reason. A client of the Eastern Design Office came to them and said that he was going to die in 15 years and said that he wanted a house to await his death. He said that it didn’t have to be a large house and that it only had to last 15 years, but he wanted to make sure that it faces the East because he loved the sunrise and hated the sunset.
