The Design

About Cover Makazi

Nyumba hii iliyo katika eneo la makazi lenye msongamano mkubwa katika maeneo ya nje ya mji wa Tokyo iliagizwa na mbuni kutoka kampuni kubwa ya mali isiyohamishika. Mlango wa ghorofa ya kwanza unatoa mtazamo kati ya ngazi na bafu hadi nyuma kabisa ya mali. Kwa sababu ya mpangilio wa aina ya ua wa ndani unaohakikisha faragha na hali ya utulivu, ni vigumu kuamini kuwa barabara iko upande mwingine tu wa ukuta. Ghorofa ya pili imeunganishwa na chumba cha dari na nafasi kubwa wazi, ikiunda eneo la kuishi linalotumia vizuri ukubwa wa dari zilizo juu.

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.
