About Cover Whare Noho

Ko tēnei whare kei roto i tētahi wāhi noho tātahi i ngā taha o Tōkiō, i tono ai e tētahi kaitātai nō tētahi kamupene rawa whenua nui. Ko te tomokanga o te papa tuatahi ka whakaatu i te tirohanga i waenga i te arawhata me te rūma horoi, tika tonu ki te tuarongo o te rawa. Nā te āhua māra e whakaū ana i te tūmataiti me te rangimārie, he uaua te whakapono kei tērā taha anake o te pakitara te huarahi. Ko te papa tuarua kua whakakotahi ki tētahi rūma tiketike me tētahi mokowā nui, e hanga ana i tētahi wāhi noho e whakamahi ana i ngā tuanui tiketike.

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.
