A White House in Obama

We all know the president lives in a white house, but did you know there’s also a white house in Obama?

OK, OK, so not literally. This white house is in Obama City in Japan’s Fukui Prefecture. So it has absolutely nothing to do with Barack Obama at all.

It’s a small two-storey wooden structure, just over 1,000 square feet in size, designed by architects Shintaro Fujiwara and Yoshio Muro. A great example of thinking inside the box. RM
