A house that “accept both the town and lifestyle”

This is a private residence built in the streets of Yanaka. The couple, who have lived abroad for a long time, liked the town of Yanaka and this view, and moved here several years ago. The husband works abroad for more than half of his daily life, so the wife, who has a variety of hobbies, lives naturally with her cat. The site is on top of a 6m retaining wall, and the approach to it is up stairs and a walkway. It is a house on a cliff. The exterior, which can be seen from the surroundings, has walls and windows arranged in a multifaceted manner. Each floor has a balcony, and each room has a pleasant view. The first floor of the high-ceilinged one-room apartment has a living room, kitchen, and dining table. On the second floor, there is a cozy bathroom like a room, an open bedroom with a good view and good ventilation, and a workroom where you can stay. The third floor is an atelier with a great view. A house with each place arranged in each place. They love creation, animals, and nature. As a house that accepts the uniqueness of the couple, we aimed for a house that is not an easy-to-understand concept, but like the town of Yanaka, which accepts diversity. When I visited the house six months after they had started living there, it was filled with their uniqueness.
