The Design

About Cover Residencia

Esta vivenda nunha zona residencial de alta densidade nos arredores de Toquio foi encargada por un deseñador dunha gran empresa inmobiliaria. A entrada da planta baixa ofrece unha vista entre a escaleira e o baño ata o fondo da propiedade. Grazas a unha distribución tipo patio que garante intimidade e un ambiente tranquilo, é difícil crer que a rúa está xusto ao outro lado do muro. A segunda planta está integrada cun altillo e un gran baleiro, formando unha área de estar que aproveita os teitos 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.
