This Tokyo residence for a young family strategically shifts its facade towards a quiet alley, fostering an intimate atmosphere despite its busy street environment. The exterior appears minimalist, while the interior is defined by a central black cylinder that separates yet connects spaces. With varied ceiling heights and integrating reflective surfaces, the design creates a sense of vertical expansion and playful light dynamics. Each room is intricately designed to facilitate flow and interaction, while colorful decorative elements enhance the atmosphere, adapting to natural light changes throughout the day.
The design cleverly utilizes contrasting ceiling heights to create a feeling of spaciousness, while the symbolic black cylinder acts as a central organizing element that divides yet connects the interior spaces.
In this house, the facade shifts towards the alley, enhancing the intimate atmosphere of the neighborhood while entirely concealing the eclectic interior layout from the busy street side.
