Japan's Minimal Apartment Tower Resembles a White Ship

Created by Japanese firm Eastern Design Office, the Step Tower is described as "a stark white ship that sails in the middle of the bustling sea of colors."

The new residential building is located in Ibaraki-city within Osaka, Japan and is aiming to usher in a new wave of housing to better suit the city's growing industry.
This 10-story high apartment complex has a simple, clean, and minimal design that makes it stand out from its neighboring structures. A unique feature to the Step Tower is the expanding slits on its corner facade that offers residents a better view of the city the higher up they go.
