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!
Agree. That whole wall with the book shelves and the family's decorative belongings makes this home actually look lived in. The area with the whale cushion would be my favorite spot in this house.
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.
Light is everything ✨ The architect was a meistro the borrowed light was perfect. The description of letting your natural desire for light move you through the home INSPIRED 🙌🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 RESPECT
I really enjoyed this tour and there were some lovely little areas to see when travelling through the house. The small garden outside the children’s room was a nice touch as was the rooftop.
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.
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.
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.
The spiral staircase was a clever feature to yield more livable space in this small house. I like the window seat as it brought in a lot of natural light.
Love the spiral flow, it's not boring.. many place to sit and relax. the bookshelves neatly lined up in the staircase.. guess the homeowner really likes to read.. love how it only 5 minutes video, but all the necessary information already there! :D
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...
Gorgeous house. There is very modern element and ingenious reclaim of space and light married with the organic, shady, element of traditional Japanese house. Brilliant.
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.
@@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.
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.
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.
I love all of the wood, and what you said about trying to have as much wood as possible wherever hands touch surfaces! That really made me THINK! (SO intelligent).
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.
The architect said that it is a north facing window, you will never have the on you , even in the middle of summer 😁🌞. Personally I like to watch the rain fall, I just need a big soft warm blanket 😊.
One major lesson I take from Japanese interiors is the considered use of elevation changes (raised platforms, moats, wells, etc) for zoning without walls, leveling lines-of-sight, and light exposure.
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. 👍
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.
@@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.
@@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.
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.
I love how he casually mentions sitting on the floor in the living room. Of course that's traditional way of sitting. I always had trouble mastering that because of the pain in my knees from fibromyalgia. But it's a wonderful use of space.
2:05 judging by the plan, there is also a major (parent's) bedroom in the house, but they didn't show it to us... why? because of privacy? even without information about that bedroom, I really like the house. wants to live in it. every corner is so cozy
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
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.
I wish people could adapt japan's method of functioning small space for their home. Because i saw a lot of people in the city have minimum living space but have no idea how to manage their surroundings to maximize their space.
this particular design is very humane👌 not all housings are the same, we hope designs like this become the ultimate standard of housing. Prioritizing humanity in housing should be the gold standard.
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.
Small spaces, excellent design, and well-used light. Poetry. The only thing I would have changed is to use a white plaster and maybe I would have avoided the ceiling drop above the dining table.
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.
Genius archtectural solutions! I am sharing this video with a renowned architect friend, as I am certain she will admire the work. Thank you for this insight into your home.
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
Ibano-san explained very well his & his family's desire for their living spaces despite the small dimensions. He came up, ingeniously, with the design that maximizes sun light as well as enhances the communication of various family members through the use of few steps arranged in circular fashion between different levels. His English is clear and fluent. Thank you for this presentation!
The spiral layout in here is so smart, it reminds me of the Paju Typography Institute building I visited for a summer GD course i took in Korea. I dont know if they would let themselves be featured on here but it would be really awesome if they did 🤞🏼
In Tbilisi, Georgia we had an award vining building of "Children's world" supermarket, unfortunately demolished after fire - spiral design of spaces with 1/4 of height steep elevation - it's very smart approach to the separation and connection of volumes!
It's a house for young people. Imagine getting up in the middle of the night for washroom or kitchen- dealing with steps can be dangerous. Otherwise it's beautiful 😍

The house is beautiful, but I wish to see a future review about the applicability and practicality of the ideas presented here. My apartment faces south, yet the condensation water in the winter collects down the window, and the spot near it will be cold damp at night. This is going to be much worse in a house that faces north, and it makes me question the practicality of placing a bed right next to the window. The stairs pose the risk of tripping at night in the dark, especially for any kids or elderly or when the person is too sleepy to have a proper estimation of their space. Distance does not always guarantee privacy, and I wonder what extra measures or habits the family will need to implement in that regard.
Nishiazabu, Tokyo, is one of the most expensive areas in Japan. While the house might be small, its value is not. Unfortunately, most of us can't afford it.

Yesssss, and I love that it's not an overlit home
I wish I could see more of this house.
Me too. I think this space is difficult to shoot.
What a shame that we did not see more of the “before” and also the bedrooms.
I want to see the toilet and bath area. I think its ridiculous to pass through the toilets in order to go to the upstairs rooms.
Hey @simpledwelling, can we get a re-do?
Me too
Light is everything ✨

I think we like the japanese homw tours because theres so much problem solving and great execution of ideas.
There is so much to be considered in this home. Very thoughtful design.

This is beautiful! Love the colors and the dark furniture. And that shower is awesome!
Wow! I have never heard an architect explain something in such a way that was easy to follow and somehow made sense to me. Refreshing. Thank you.
I’m glad! Daisuke Ibano is a tremendous architect and communicator!
Beautiful house, full of warmth. The people living in it will feel good.

A very beautiful house, the japanese design have a special taste in it, something can't explain.
Very true. Very intriguing too.
They are also unbound by the many restrictive building codes that one has to follow in similar urban landscapes
LOVED IT!! The bench by the window is somewhere I would spend a lot of time reading if I lived there.
Love the skylit reading nook as well like wow

Still the original windows.
Otherwise: great concept!
Zero privacy house
I love it. I love how the Japanese people arrange their homes and gardens. ❤❤❤❤❤
The staggered floors are so fun and clever use of space!
日本室內設計厲害的就是完全善用每一寸室內空間
真的非常佩服～～～👍

realy nice
Brilliant designed house for such a compact site - it doesn't look cramped at all.
Thank you! This is a BEAUTIFUL house! And the use of space is so clever!! Thank you for sharing with us!
Wish we could have seen more of the interior spaces. Thank you.
The idea of this house was superb. I wish you provide more 😊
I admire this home very much, it was extremely well thought out.

I think it's partly because overcast weather, lights are all off, dark tones on the wood, and few reflective materials.
Bright homes are OVERRATED, especially for people who get sun year round or have brutal summers

Nice design! I like it. It is not usual for my eyes at all because I am from Russia but I really like this Japanese style in design
I love this design.
What a beautiful beautiful house!
Would make a superb tiny house ideas for houses with extra backyard

Rooftop terrace is nice! Overall, good use of space. If possible, add some recess lights, it would be elevated with more lights in the house.
