About Cover Íbúðarhús

Þetta heimili í þéttbýlu íbúðahverfi í úthverfum Tókýó var falið hönnuði hjá stóru fasteignafélagi. Inngangurinn á jarðhæð býður upp á útsýni milli stigans og baðherbergisins alveg að bakhluta eignarinnar. Þökk sé skipulagi í garðakæðastíl sem tryggir næði og friðsælt andrúmsloft er erfitt að trúa að gatan sé rétt hinum megin við vegginn. Önnur hæð er samþætt háalofti og stóru opnu rými og myndar stofu sem nýtir há loftin til fullnustu.

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.
