About Cover Wenning

Dit hûs yn in hege tichtbewenne wengebiet yn 'e foarstêden fan Tokyo wie opdroegen troch in ûntwerper by in grut ûnroerendgoedbedriuw. De yngong op 'e earste ferdjipping biedt in sicht tusken de trep en de badkeamer troch oant de efterkant fan it pân. Tankewille in binnentún-achtige yndieling dy't privacy en in freedige sfear garandearret, is it hast net te leauwen dat de strjitte krekt oan 'e oare kant fan 'e muorre is. De twadde ferdjipping is yntegrearre mei in solder en grutte leechte, en foarmet in wenromte dy't profitearret fan 'e hege plafonds.

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.
