Creative Approaches to Limited Spaces
Schemata Architects overcame the challenge of the narrow space by tipping the façade 63.02 degrees forward, creating a deeper space with a wide window that overlooks the cityscape.
Blending Nature with Architecture
This creative 1,075-square-foot home attempts to blur the boundary between nature and architecture with a traditional charred cedar wood finish. Designed by Atelier Tekuto, the creative abode has a maze-like composition and 16 skylights.
Innovative Urban Homes
In Japan, there’s a saying that the last drop of wine is the luckiest. That was Atelier Tekuto’s inspiration for Lucky Drops, built on a discarded scrap of land in an irregular trapezoid shape.
Eco-Friendly Architectural Solutions
Located in the heart of Tokyo, this 1,117-square-foot residence is built on a 700-square-foot plot of land. Atelier Tekuto incorporated a thermal circulation system and eco-friendly materials — inventing a new type of recyclable concrete called Shirasu, made from volcanic ash deposits.
Maximizing Space and Light
An irregularly shaped piece of land just 480 square feet, Reflection of Mineral is located in a dense area of Tokyo. To comply with building codes without sacrificing space, Atelier Tekuto designed a polyhedron shape that maximized living space and natural light.
Brilliant Use of Natural Light
Located in Kyoto, the Hazukashi House has a total floor area of 1,005 square feet, across two stories. Alts Design Office brought in an abundance of natural light and created a family room at the center of the house.
Inviting Spaces with Modern Design
Nicknamed the “comfy house,” the 1,135-square-foot address from Alts Design Office brings together a welcoming atmosphere with various types of wood, natural light, vault-shaped doorways, and large curved windows.
Stylish Homes in Dense Urban Environments
Designed by Ido Kenji Architectural Studio, House F was built on a narrow plot of land for a couple in Osaka. The three-story house incorporates warm pine wood, large windows, and a garden on the south side.
Generously Designed Family Homes
This 1,016-square-foot address is situated in Osaka and designed by Ido Kenji Architectural Studio. A home for a family of four, the architects designed the living area to be as spacious as possible.
Innovative Design Techniques for Optimal Use of Space
Ido Kenji Architectural Studio rotated the second floor of House in Tamatsu by 14 degrees to provide more space, natural light and an origami-like visual effect.
Utilizing Small Spaces Effectively
Mizuishi Architect Atelier had just an 840-square-foot plot of land to work with, but managed to create an intriguing space with various types of wood, a small garden and versatile windows.
Unique Open Concepts with Scenic Views
At just 258 square feet, Window House is appropriately named — two huge windows showcase the sea on one side and the mountain on the other.
Transformable Living Spaces
This petite abode is exactly what it sounds like, originally a 20-foot-long shipping container before Yasutaka Yoshimura Architects converted it into a home. Designed to help those who lost their homes in natural disaster, the transportable Ex-Container houses can be easily expanded or modified.
Efficient Use of Space in Urban Settings
A project from Schemata Architects, 63.02° is a 768-square-foot home in the dense neighborhood of Nakano in Tokyo.
