Architect Kunio Maekawa Creator's home | Creator's home
When I came to Tokyo this time, I came across a 1:1 replica of Maekawa Kunio's house in Edo Architecture Park. As a Japanese architect of the Showa era, he went to France to study with Le Corbusier, and the modern and Japanese parts of his home blend very well. It still looks very fashionable and easy to live in. There are many inspired points:
The rhythm of the space: The house has a wall of light, the view is wide, and the view is brought into the interior through the lattice Windows. After entering the hall, the furniture you see in front of you are mainly wooden texture, very simple.

Furniture and space relations: The bedroom, bathroom and kitchen are distributed on one side of the kitchen, and the square table in the dining space is adjusted into a trapezoid for easy access.
The use of ceramic tiles: The kitchen and toilet have different sizes of ceramic tiles, which gives the wood-based home a modern atmosphere, and there is a wash basin in the study that can be pulled up by the closet door, which is convenient for drawing water in the study.

Use of rotary door:
Le Corbusier commonly used rotating shaft rotary door, without any hinge, but through a connected shaft to achieve rotation, the scene really has a different kind of beauty. Natural, warm, simple, coupled with the regularity of traditional Japanese materials, this is not the most popular Japanese Scandinavian style house now? It's really worth a home tour for every home lover.

Japanese architect Yuichiro Fujii | believes in the power of architecture
Since ancient times, architecture has been a fundamental act of deep participation in human activities. I want to be born as a person who believes in the power of architecture to carefully create everything related to human activity. Due to the private ownership of land in Japan, you can buy your own land to build houses, so the household type is more free to plan space according to your own preferences. Today we take a look at the home that Japanese architect Yuichiro Fujii has designed for himself.

The house has a total of two floors, the first floor is the guest dining kitchen integrated space, the most favorite is the long window and the outside of the green plants, whether it is eating or relaxing will always be cured by the scenery outside the window! Home he is also with a more natural wooden dining table and chairs and cabinets, simple and natural. Through a hollow staircase to the second floor is the study and bedroom, it seems that the architect should often work at home, the home is full of bookshelves and books. Next to the wide workbench is the landscape floor-to-ceiling window, which makes us envious of the same architect.




Poet Shuntaro Tanigawa | A wooden house renovated and designed by Miho Hamaguchi, Japan's first female architect

"I think nature is more beautiful than anything created by people and artists today." In the work area overlooking the garden, there is an American-made music stand for him to read paper items, and the superleggera by gio ponti, the lightest chair in the world.

The built-in bookshelves in the space where he works are filled with the music that sustens his life, as well as antiquities collected by his father, Tetsan, such as Mexican clay sculptures "that must be from centuries BC," Chinese dolls and stone figurines shaped like birds. The small bronze animal in the glass case is the first antique that Mr. Tanigawa collected under the influence of his father. On the wall shelves, there are also the tiny cars I've ridden so far, such as the Citroen 2CV and the Fiat Punto.

"The shelves are also filled with music that has been taped to my life. I started listening to Haydn CDS when I was in my 80s, and Mozart, who was" the archetype of my happiness, "and" I've always dreamed of writing a poem that could rival those few bars." "When you pick something out of a lot of things in the world, that person's standard of beauty comes out, and now I want to look at something that relates to me in some way, maybe as a starting point."

Japanese manga artist's house | stretches

He looks sleepy... "A Japanese Manga Artist'sHouse" is a very attractive house, which does not seem to belong to the same dimension as other houses around it. Maybe it is tired of standing still, so it stretches itself. The house has only one main entrance, a small door hidden under the twisted facade, which guarantees privacy while creating a sense of mystery, and wants people to go inside...
