"This project is an architect's home and office located in a densely populated residential area of Tokyo. As there were other houses adjacent to the boundary of the site on all sides except for the north side, where the road is located, it was decided to install a large window facing the road, but the challenge was how to create a bright garden view through the north-facing window."

An architect's home and office sits in a densely populated residential area of Tokyo. Houses abut the site's boundaries on all sides except the north, which opens onto a road. A large window faces the road to bring light and views into the interior. The key challenge involved producing a bright garden view from a north-facing window despite limited openings and adjacent neighboring buildings. Design strategies focus on maximizing daylight penetration and creating visual connection to a planted garden visible from the street-oriented glazing.
