Unique Itami Home.

tatohome_0007_8I have discovered a pretty unique home found in Itami, Hyōgo- tall and so so skinny. Even with its unusual shape it is beautiful and minimal and very unique.The kitchen is my favorite part of this home- the stairs coming up through the middle and the dining table stretching over the stairwell. The feel is so fresh and clean to me- the wood and the white. Lovely.

When I have the honor of seeing an architect-designed house, I sometimes feel as if design furniture is telling messages. I wonder if it is right to summarize by saying “respect the original space and don’t bring any unnecessary things”, but it seems almost like a strong desire as much as to say not to fill the space with anything does not deserve it. (...) In this house, architectural elements such as stairs, a laundry space, closets, hand rails and toilets are made as if those are furniture. Except for those, there are only floors. As such, architecture and furniture are mingled and those meanings become relative each other, in which way I keep trying to create freedom in rooms as if all of those are just randomly placed and used by chance.
