How This Japanese Architect Makes Use of a Small Site in Tokyo

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 tiny 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.

Huge respect for the Japanese: this is a nation that values space, makes the most wonderful, practical use OF it - and creates things out of tiny areas that are beautiful, well-ordered and almost..spiritual. I am a textile artist, living in New Orleans, and my pieces are all small, so I dearly love tha concept of miniature/limited/scaled down, etc...

@metislamestiza3708 Год назад

i LOVE the little nook with the whale pillow that has a library beside it. perfect for cozy time reading to their children. the shower is beautiful . they did their best with the physical circumstances presented - love it!

@-IrisTsui Год назад

I appreciate the successful attempt to capture how the space would actually look under natural lighting conditions--shadows and all. I imagine it can be difficult to capture the feel of a space without giving into the temptation of excessive illumination.

@Zaihanisme Год назад

Yesssss, and I love that it's not an overlit home

@lynda.grace.14 Год назад

Reading the 1933 essay "In Praise of Shadows" by Jun'ichiro Tanizaki (Eng. trans. Edward Seidensticker or Gregory Starr) might help viewers not familiar with Japanese aesthetics who find the home too dark to appreciate the difference in approach to interior spaces. Need for privacy, too, is viewed differently in Japan. It's very likely that a family will pass the entire winter together sharing the kotasu (a table with a heater) and not in "their own rooms" as they likely would in some other cultures.

@abominablyawsm Год назад

We place so much value on light and bright that we have forgotten how cozy and relaxing the dark is.

@Aryan_Raj. Год назад

Thank you for mentioning In Praise of Shadows. That piece of literature gives so much insight on traditional Japanese architecture.

@lynda.grace.14 Год назад

@@Aryan_Raj. Yes. That and the nature of thought and aesthetic appreciation in Japan that stands somewhat apart from a "Western" approach. I use that distinction loosely as that encompasses a wide range.

@anaalves3658 Год назад

I have never been to the east and I must admit to being very ignorant of Eastern cultures. I do fully understand the concept of building houses that fit the environment and that meet the requirements of its inhabitants, but I also know that it's difficult for people to understand and appreciate how people live differently to themselves. Personally I love lots of natural light, I am the kind of person that doesn't have curtains in my home, we have block out blinds in the bedrooms and all the windows have blinds built into the windows, but they are only ever used in very sunny weather. I also prefer the heat so it doesn't bother me if it gets warmer inside. Each to their own. I do love seeing homes that fit it's inhabitants well, and I must agree that the little reading nook looks amazing and I would personally love it.

My father-in-law spent a lot of time in Japan in the 1950s, and it definitely inspired him as he built the family home. Simple Japanese-style garden outside, lots of natural wood and simple, clean lines inside, and it definitely is darker and shadowed like the home in this video. I personally find it quite lovely, but I also think it's too dark. But the aesthetic is similar to this home, and I can appreciate now how he was inspired by architecture in Japan.

@katsee8699 Год назад

This is beautiful! Love the colors and the dark furniture. And that shower is awesome!

@jori7398 9 месяцев назад

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.

@susantuyau8089 Год назад

I think the use of space is really clever but I still find the home really dark. Perhaps it was a gloomy day when filming. But I also think a much lighter colour on the rendered walls and ceiling would have added so much more cheer to the space.

@masdzulfikar6201 Год назад

I think it's partly because overcast weather, lights are all off, dark tones on the wood, and few reflective materials.

@Zaihanisme Год назад

Bright homes are OVERRATED, especially for people who get sun year round or have brutal summers

@susantuyau8089 Год назад

@@Zaihanisme the architect commented in the first 10 sec of the clip about the lack of light into the home and it was unacceptable to the family. Getting light into the home was obviously a priority for the home owners.

@MsYeahman1 Год назад

@@Zaihanisme, I have never thought of that. I live in that kind of climate and temperature and I have thought of painting the walls a darker color, as I like moody colors on observing others' homes. But I do like the light colors, because living with moody gives me the blues. Maybe I could see what kind of darker tones I COULD tolerate . Thank you.

@abominablyawsm Год назад

He never said he wanted a bright home. He wanted natural light, he wanted to see the sun. He wanted to bring in air and better circulation. Unfortunately he doesn't have a lot of places he can get it because there are buildings on all but one side and you can see how tight against each other they are. He's got everything arranged to have a wall facing the street and has put a great big window facing out in as many spaces as possible except the bathroom. He's arranged the floors so light comes down from above as much as possible. He also said how important having natural wood was. And the wood isn't dark. They use a medium tone in a bedroom, which is fine. The wood in the living area is all light. The darkest tone is that 90s honey oak.

@Ricangelo Год назад

I love how rich the textures of all the surfaces are and how the dim lighting enhances them even more. Also love how haphazardly the arrangement of the wall arts are placed. So poetically shows the life utilises the spaces.

@annepoitrineau5650 Год назад

Beautiful house, full of warmth. The people living in it will feel good.

@Solidarity1024 Год назад

I like the spiral approach to the space problem, two-steps between spaces, no corridors. Doors even though they would add privacy, would affect the flow. Flow through this building is more important. The kitchen-dining-living line of sight, making the stairs less steep, all considerate decisions.

@AliceswanUs Год назад

Beautiful and very well-designed. Love the bookshelves by the staircase and the benches by the window and upstairs. I would read there all day.

@jennycampbell5236 Год назад

Japanese architects are on a whole different level. Please pardon my pun. If I had enough money I would buy a small plot of land here in Australia and hire a Japanese architect to build me a home full of light without neighbours looking in. Everything here is becoming more and more crowded.

Yes, looks great. I had exactly the same thought. Reading an d a cup of coffee or a glas of wine - but also depends on where you live. I couldn't sit in front of such a beautiful window when it's bitter cold outside. Or in summer when the sun burns in.

@anaalves3658 Год назад

@ahumanbeing812 Месяц назад

The highlight of this small house is the open concept floor plan. The lack of walls and doors between shared spaces lends the whole place a fluid form, allowing the occupants maximum freedom of movement and making the place feel more spacious than it is. Besides the open concept floor plan, the parallel parking lot also ensures maximum interior space. Love this tiny house. Very elegant. Very functional. A perfect combination of traditional Japanese culture and modern interior design concept. 👍

@Zaihanisme Год назад

Maybe because it's the most boring space, just a normal bedroom to the architect like, meh not my best work down there haha! It was very clever to put the master bedroom at a sub-basement level furthest from the kids at the top of the house, providing extra privacy in a house that is essentially a chain of gorgeous rooms with only absolutely needed doors
