The Design

About Cover Domus

Domus haec in vicinia alta densitate in suburbiis Tokii sita a designatore societatis immobiliaris magnae commissa est. Aditus primi tabulati prospectum inter scalam et balneum usque ad extremam praedii partem praebet. Dispositione instar atrii quae secretum tranquillitatisque sensum confirmat, difficile creditu est viam tantum trans murum iacere. Tabulatum secundum cum contignationibus et magno vacuo integratum, aream habitationis altis lacunaribus fruentem efficit.

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.
