Say you want to live in a library, or in the forest, or in a library in the forest, but you would prefer to maintain your high living standards. There is one architecture studio that has the skills and vision to build the house of your dreams: Bow-Wow.

An ongoing exhibition of the Japanese architecture studio Bow-Wow at the Jaroslav Fragner Gallery shows how architecture can maximize limited space while appealing to a client's unique wishes. The exhibition presents 19 very precise house models at the scale of 20:1, as well as perspective plans and videos. The perspective plans are unusual as they are a cross between plan and illustration, with people, flowers and animals depicted. These, combined with the wooden models and black-and-white perspective drawings, give the exhibition a sober, modest feel at first glance. But a closer look at the models reveals the visionary creativity behind Bow-Wow's design.

Bow-Wow's buildings can be classified in two groups. First are houses located in the city, usually built on a small ground plan and therefore oriented vertically. Secondly, the studio creates houses in the countryside and these are horizontal, following the original ground formation and very much connected to the surrounding nature.

Even the architecture studio's use of physical rather than digital models goes against the grain, according to noted Czech architecture historian Zdeněk Lukeš.
