Daisuke Ibano, a Tokyo-based architect, desired a bright and spacious home for his family. Dissatisfied with their previous dark and cramped house, Daisuke collaborated with architects Ryosuke Fujii and Satoshi Numanoi to create a new residence that would provide a more comfortable living environment.
Due to the limited space of the tiny 45m2 site, they decided to forgo corridors and instead connected all the rooms in a spiral, allowing smooth movement between levels. With only a few doors throughout the home, privacy is had by generating a sense of distance between you and others, such as sitting on the staircase bench seat nook while everyone else is in the living area.
The family now enjoys an abundance of light-filled spaces with plenty of room for everyone.
English and Japanese subtitles are available.
