A steel staircase connects the lower and upper floors of the two-story residence. At the entrance, there is no step or threshold separating indoor and outdoor footwear; residents simply change into indoor shoes at an appropriate spot.
A small study tucked beside the entrance. The wall behind the chair is fully lined with built-in storage.
The living room, dining area, and kitchen are located on the upper floor. For a time, a weeping cherry tree was planted on the roof terrace and enjoyed throughout the seasons.
Looking down the staircase, a large beam runs across the wall, above which an entire wall of bookshelves has been built.
At the end of a suspended hallway that crosses the open atrium, a bench invites quiet moments of reading.
A fisheye view of the downstairs bedroom reveals a cozy space bathed in soft light filtering through the shoji screens.
