Although this place gives me anxiety with the lack of balustrades, I can’t help but admire the beauty of it. I can totally see and respect the architect’s vision for openness.

This house is a cat's dream...beautiful!

This guy loves to live on the edge.

There is something immensely appealing about these tall, narrow spaces with the floors layered as tiers up the sides, allowing the light to pass through the space, creating a sense of openness and continuity that doesn't confine you to one room. Enclosure and security but not confinement and disconnection. I know the stairs wouldn't be practical in old age but I do find the arrangement of spaces and the materials very beautiful, and the floor to ceiling bookcase and stone step into the home are both lovely.

This is easily one of my favorite homes NTS has featured. I love the layers of each level of the house. The concrete looks like stone to me. The wall of books is something I have always wanted. It feels open and peaceful. The use of all the natural wood goes well with the concrete. It's gorgeous.

Small comment: Again, this was an amazing episode, and I think all episodes should be in the architect's main language with subtitles!
@ticoss
The safety standards for these layouts always surprise me in Japan...

Although I’ve seen this house featured elsewhere, there’s something special about the way the Never Too Small team presents it—it just hits different! The way they capture the space, introduce the residents, tell their story, explain the details, and frame the shots makes it so easy to understand and visualize the layout. Everything is done perfectly ❤️ And of course, the house itself is absolutely beautiful—such a unique layout, yet completely liveable ✨

I love that they both like to talk about their day and this house allows it freely 💖

I'm not big on concrete but the plants and books DO soften the look. I can't help wondering about the acoustics in such a place...
@t.vinters3128
The lack of guardrails, especially on the full window on the 2nd floor and the rooftop, is quite unnerving. You're one misplaced step away from disaster.
@HOEKANDA09
this house is pure poetry , amazing combination of different matarials
@dezmair1288
Absolutely bonkers with no balustrades! But it's fantastic :)
@Farah101
BEAUTIFUL! 😍 Creative, unique, forward-thinking. Drunks, sleepwalkers, toddlers and the clumsy (like me) should stay away.
@Inwardbliss
This house is defiantly a piece of art and must have been so expensive to build from the ground up - especially in Tokyo. The Japanese are really masters of the "cozy" vibe even when it's surrounded with concrete.
@MrElbee92
The best Japanese home you have shown yet! Everything is Aesthetic and has a dual purpose. Love it!

While I duly acknowledge some people's concerns about potential fall hazard expressed in their comments, I still think that the ingenuity of the house design should not be overlooked. This is, after all, a townhouse built on a 31m2 plot of land in a fairly busy crowded part of Tokyo. As for the fall hazard concerns, I can easily imagine that this house could accommodate additional stylish handrails and unobstructive/non-intrusive transparent/translucent panels here and there (especially the lower stairs and the balcony) without losing its openness. One specific add-on idea of mine is, instead of the white curtain shown in the video, a light white shade that can go all the way to the end pole of the bathroom (rather than half way through just to cover the shower/bath area) which could be also used as a home theatre screen. Just an idea, though.
@atemar1a
i saw the first video showcasing this home and i think about it at least once a week. it's just so charming. it's so nice to see more of it!
@atalmeowlaurent1847
This is the winner in my opinion, huge or at least feels like. High ceilings, divided in different floors, you get your privacy thought it's an open space everywhere. I just love it ❤❤❤
