    The house is beautiful. But their thoughtfulness around the ideas of home, design and family, even more so.

    ‘We like to design a house capable of carrying memories’. Damn that sounded good.

    The dialogue and the separation between child / growth / parent and how they take the creation of deep, permanent memories brings tears of both gratitude and sadness to my eyes. Beauty in the love and fulfillment the family has, and sadness at its impermanence.

    What a wonderful idea to use one's philosophy to a house. A form of unity; oneness. I love that.

    The physical design(s) will evolve - the bonds and the memories created in it's evolution are what will become permanent. Bravo.

    ‘Japan is a small Island. So if we don’t cope with others, we cant live oneness’ I love the Japanese aesthetic, always live with considerations for other to live in harmony. In western countries, its not uncommon to see people parking their trolley diagonally across supermarkt isles, blocking others to pass though. You don’t see that in Japan, unless they are pesky tourists with no manners

    This is a conceptual masterpiece.
    Architecture's world is riddled with pretentious architects creating absurdily huge houses.
    It is wonderful to find wise and down to earth architects that create sensible homes. (A table is, always, crearly more important than a bedroom).

    What a moving film, what wonderful people. You can see it in the faces of the children. Western culture, and all modern, technological societies are breaking down, good living design might help. Thank you for making this film

    The first thing that occured to me was how claustrophobic it all is, an what it will feel like if there's a fight between the kids, in those tiny wooden boxes (you can't call it rooms, really).

    A great house design solve the need of the client , but when you are the client with design skills you see things that a third party could never see , and through your skills solve problem an other designer never could. Considering the fact that you have a loving family involved just give your project greater purpose.

    i love their thought on what home should be and the concept of oneness in a family, but i dont think they must confine themselves to such a small space like that. I'm sure they can afford a bigger house.

    • @an_idiot4777
      @an_idiot4777 6 років тому +7

      Actually, making the space small is very practical. Environmentally, it is extremely good, for it means that they won't just demolish it, leave, build something else, putting more CO2 in our atmosphere.
      There is no need for lots of room (unless you a claustrophobic) and it means they are less likely to buy unecissary items, and can live sustainably.

    • @lsamoa

      Or just utilise the space better. The dinner table is gigantic while the kids rooms are smaller than prison cells.

    Looked like one big furniture storage space/warehouse. The children's area looked terrifying. Like a prison cell with walls that gradually creep in more and more until they're crushed; like in a Bond movie. Ghastly place.

    I find the house unbearable. It is tiny, it lacks space, everything seems to be something your body must adapt to. It feels like a corset , and on top of that it has basically zero privacy , there again you need to adapt to that, not only your body but your personality too. I couldn’t even spend three days in this house without the immediate urge to leave and never come back. It feels like a hospital room or an administration , not something homey or cozy at all. Speaking Japanese and Chinese, i know that the concept of Homeyness and Cozyness are almost impossible to translate in both language so i am not surprised at all it is almost impossible to find in an habitation . But when you look at the beauty of traditional Japanese and Chinese houses like the Japanese Kominka which are so soulful and then you look at this house here, you feel like everything has been removed and only the skeleton of the house remains. I deliberately chose the word Skeleton and not Essential , because i think they removed the essential . The essential part of a house is its soul , without a soul a House can only be a place , but this is the soul which makes a House a Home and this right here is just house. It is not built to last , it will be destroyed and rebuilt within 20 years as it is the habit in Japan . Old house were rebuilt using traditional material and whatever could be reused was reused over and over again , which gave old houses a charm like only old places can have , with all the evidences of the life and lives which once occurred in them . But this is the same material used to built administrations like post offices and banks, there is nothing soulful about it .
    Personally i find this house hideous and i can't even fathom the idea of anyone wanting to live in it .
    I am married to a Japanese who thinks exactly like me. He was raised in a very traditional house in Kyoto , a Nagaya , by the Kamo river , and the 130 years old house is still standing beautifully and has kept all its charm , because his mother refused to let go of it as it has been in the family for generations ,
    NBow we live in Switzerland , in a 450 years old house , which has never been changed . This house has more than a soul, it is the soul of the whole district we live in . We didn't have to adapt to the house because the house was built to make people's life immensely easy . It has space, it has privacy, it has a view on mountains and lakes, it has gardens all over it big enough for the kids to play hide and seek and to have many dogs and cats living in and around the house .
    And the house will still be standing in another 200 years as long as we take care of her . And yet it was cheaper than the house of this lovely couple.
    I know that Tokyo lacks space and that house have to be solid rather than pretty to face earthquakes and therefore i built light so that if they fall, there is less risk to kill the people living in them . But in a countries like Japan and China, famous for their insanely beautiful traditional architecture, to end up designing something as unwelcoming and unnatural , is quite sad to my opinion. I can't imagine kids growing up positively in a house like this .
    Sorry i am being honest, but i think this is what the youtube comment section is for . If i just wrote that the house is pretty i would be dishonest and if i just wrote that the house is monstrous , i would have to explain myself, so i gave my opinion and explained it .
    Now this is my own personal opinion and i do not believe anyone has to agree with me . As the Japanese say, JU NIN TO IRO.

      Thank you. This house makes me incredibly uneasy, especially the kids rooms. The beds are unsafe, there's no doors. It feels like they didn't really plan ahead about having kids, and found themselves crammed into the sleeping area, so they came up with pseudo-philosophical reasons to justify that afterthought design of the rooms. And now it's like you said, they have to completely adapt their lifestyle and even bodies around it. That's not how a home should feel, home should make you feel at ease like you said, not physically mould you with discomfort. I've seen many Japanese houses and flats, some much smaller than this one, and none have made me feel so claustrophobic and uneasy.
