So over these houses in Tokyo. They all look alike.
“Fragment of a dream” is right. Snoooze!

The loft shows a height of 1400 which must mean mm or 4.56ft. So she’s not tall! But she could use the guest room in preference when not occupied. Also she shares the facilities with the guest. So it’s a different culture! But to be fair she must need the rental space so is willing to give up a lot. But is this the best solution.

I mean, if those are 9″ risers on the stairs, the ceiling height for the bedroom is in the neighborhood of 5′? Am I crazy?

Really tough to understand from the plans. Always interesting to see what the Japanese transform a closet into a home, but the owners bedroom is really hard to swallow…

B1f, Loft, 1f, 2f is the order of floors from bottom to top. God that took me a while to figure out from looking at the plans and that silly diagram.

Interesting house… I would like to try living in something like that, but not for too long!
