Designed by Side Architects that specializes in micro homes has literally been built house on a plot intended for a single car. Design of a structure on a mini pie-shaped lot next to a busy Tokyo street, they knew exactly what to do. Capitalizing on all available space, every corner of the three-story home is utilized, with south facing floor to ceiling windows and a transparent interior moderating the packed dimensions.
The exterior windows are shaded by louvers not only to reduce heat gain and noise, but to provide light and a views throughout the home. Interior doors are made from glass in order to reduce the boxy feel of the rooms.
The home is the result of the owners’ desire to have custom home in the city of Tokyo. However, given the lofted housing prices permeating throughout the metropolis, they took their limited budget and joined the kyosho jutaku, or micro home trend, that is driving innovative design on the island nation. The total cost of the design and construction rang in at half a million US dollars.
