The Design

About Cover Residencia

Esta vivienda en un distrito residencial de alta densidad en los suburbios de Tokio fue encargada por un diseñador de una gran empresa inmobiliaria. La entrada de la planta baja ofrece una vista entre la escalera y el baño hasta el fondo de la propiedad. Gracias a una distribución tipo patio que garantiza privacidad y un ambiente tranquilo, es difícil creer que la calle está justo al otro lado del muro. La segunda planta está integrada con un loft y un gran vacío, formando un área de estar que aprovecha los techos altos.

Unique Properties
The first-floor entrance offers a view between the staircase and the bathroom clear to the back of the property. Thanks to a courtyard-like layout that ensures privacy and a peaceful mood, it’s hard to believe the street is just on the other side of the wall. The second floor is integrated with a loft and large void, forming a living area that takes advantage of the high ceilings.

Inspiration
This home in a high-density residential district in Tokyo’s suburbs was commissioned by a designer at a large real estate company. The roof and exterior walls are constructed from metallic grey Galvalume which both forms a structural skin and protects the privacy of the residents by shielding the first floor from visibility from the street. A large opening in the roof brings in abundant natural light and makes the compact space feel more expansive.
