Daisuke Ibano, a Tokyo-based architect, desired a bright and spacious home for his family. Dissatisfied with their previous dark and cramped house, Daisuke collaborated with architects Ryosuke Fujii and Satoshi Numanoi to create a new residence that would provide a more comfortable living environment.
Due to the limited space of the 45m2 site, they decided to forgo corridors and instead connected all the rooms in a spiral, allowing smooth movement between levels. With only a few doors throughout the home, privacy is had by generating a sense of distance between you and others, such as sitting on the staircase bench seat nook while everyone else is in the living area.
The family now enjoys an abundance of light-filled spaces with plenty of room for everyone.
English and Japanese subtitles are available.

Not the best presentation of the project, no to mention that the "old house" so much spoken about was not shown at all, I didn't get an idea of the apartment, neither I understood how they resolved the problem with light, to me it's still dark
actually just adopt me!! i hope to work with great architects this craft is so demotivating and depressing makes me actually wanna quit it's just a business now
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Nishiazavu!!!!!!
Yes, i knew that it must exist!
Back in 1987 a hungarian film was produced, called Macskafogo (catsville).)in this story the mice get tired of the agressive cats and they decide to take a revenge. They commission a karate-practicing Mouse called Grabowski to go to Japan and collection the plans of a cat-catching machine, planned by the genius japanese Mouse Profesor Niazaki who lives in Nishiazavu 🙂
When i heard it i had a time travel! I love the Macskafogo! 🙂 thank you thank you 🙂
By the way the design is also fantastic

interesting design
I quite love the feel of this home. Amazing how much seclusion, or privacy, it seems to allow for each family member. Looks like many small, intimate spaces can be experienced throughout the home. This is what I appreciate about it.
Absolutely gorgeous! i would love to live in a place like this.
I personally would cover the grey metal net of the terrace balustrade with plants greenery and flowers.
As it is now, it feels far too industrial and void of any beauty. Unlike the house interiors which instead are attractive and looking comfortable.
I love the design, but there are no sound blockers if there are no doors. So there's no efficient privacy.
This video failed to give me a good feel for the space. A simple video walk through the entire space would have been helpful.
it's interesting that the owner didnt show the ground floor which Im not sure if it's by mistake or purposefully done.
Aparting from the bathroom is 2 floors away from the main bedroom which I find is maybe not ideal, the concept and indoor/outdoor space exchange is very nice!
But in general, I love the designing thoughts put into the project, it matches my style preference of living in terms of space scale.
More windows needed….still dark. Everything else is excellent.
You can tell straight people did the interior design…
"Privacy is ensured by distance" well I don't see how. Even by japanese standards this home is near unlivable. Love the living area but the bedrooms are just a artist's view.
Some greenery and plants would add a lot.
Hola, demasiado oscuro el departamento y no se visualiza todo.
I like that it only has little light. I like the aura it gives the home space.
Wow, 45 sq meters of land and he even found space to put a parking spot. Considering the small foot print there's a lot of dining space, kitchen space and a large bathtub. Very well planned out.
