Japan may be known for the wacky and wonderful, but it’s also known as one of the most stylish and cutting edge places on planet Earth. Take this Plastic Moon House for example.

Built in Tokyo, Japanese architects Norisada Maeda Atelier designed this house that includes a dental practice and swimming pool.

As you’d expect (err), the swimming pool is stylishly integrated on the top floor above the dental practice area on the ground floor.

Plenty of pictures after the jump.

The ground floor accommodates the owner’s dental practice with a separate door forming the entrance to the home.It’s quite amazing to see the way the small land space is utilised for this home and work area. More info and even more pictures can be found at Dezeen.
