He&#8217;s the Brentwood, California resident who won awards from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/make\/maserati\/\">Maserati<\/a> and <em>Architecture Digest<\/em> magazine for his innovative garage set-up that placed his classic <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/make\/ferrari\/\">Ferrari<\/a> 512BB in a living room-style garage. Unfortunately, his myopic neighbors put the architectural feat at risk with their disapproval of his driveway ramp. But another homeowner across the Pacific has commissioned a similar arrangement that is drawing attention.<\/p>\n<p>Renowned Japanese architect Takuya Tsuchida was approached by a client to build a house on a 2,000-square-foot plot in suburban Tokyo with some very specific instructions. One, there had to be an atrium running up the middle of the house with a potted tree occupying the center. Two, there had to be a nine-car garage on premises to house the owner&#8217;s car collection. And three, he had to be able to see his prized ponies from the living room. <\/p>\n<p>Sounds complicated enough, but Tsuchida didn&#8217;t disappoint. His solution was to fit the garage with an elevator platform that can raise one of the cars right into the living space: in this case, a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/make\/lamborghini\/\">Lamborghini<\/a> Countach Anniversary Edition, although we can spy what looks like a Diablo GT peering through the opening as well. Sure beats the knickknacks we&#8217;ve got piling up in our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/tag\/furniture\">fantasy living room<\/a>. Oh, and the rest of the house looks pretty nice, too. <em>Thanks for the tip, Pat!<\/em><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"postgallery\">\n<p><strong>Gallery: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/kre-house-by-takuya-tsuchida\/low\/\">KRE House by Takuya Tsuchida<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/kre-house-by-takuya-tsuchida\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/03\/kre14_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/kre-house-by-takuya-tsuchida\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/03\/kre6_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/kre-house-by-takuya-tsuchida\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/03\/kre1_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/kre-house-by-takuya-tsuchida\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/03\/kre13_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/kre-house-by-takuya-tsuchida\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/03\/kre12_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>\n[Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/whatwedoissecret.org\/madebyblog\/2010\/03\/driven-by-enthusiasm\/\">What We Do Is Secret<\/a> via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.todayandtomorrow.net\/2010\/03\/26\/kre-house\/\">today and tomorrow<\/a>]<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/04\/01\/tokyo-home-elevates-a-lamborghini-countach-right-into-the-living\/\">How Uplifting: Tokyo home elevates Lamborghini Countach right into living room<\/a> originally appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\">Autoblog<\/a> on Thu, 01 Apr 2010 18:58:00 EST.
