The Design

About Cover Wunnsëtz

Dëst Heem an engem héichdichte Wunnquartier an den Banlieue vun Tokyo gouf vun engem Designer bei enger grousser Immobiliefirma bestellt. Den Entrée am éischte Stack bitt eng Vue tëscht der Trap an der Buedzëmmer bis hanne op d'Terrain. Dank engem Haff-ähnleche Layout, dat Privatsphär a roueg Stëmmung garantéiert, ass et schwéier ze gleewen datt d'Strooss just op der anerer Säit vun der Mauer ass. Den zweete Stack ass mat engem Loft a grousser Leedraum integréiert, wat e Wunnberäich formt, deen d'héich Placafong ausnotzt.

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.
