Video Description
Head to https://www.odoo.com/r/4ddb to start your very own website using the free Website Builder from Odoo. In a quiet residential neighbourhood of Tokyo, architect Masato Igarashi of IGArchitects designed a unique 59sqm/635sqft concrete home for himself and his wife—doubling as his architecture studio. Built as a stack of seven skip floors, the compact home maximises light, space and connection through layered levels, large windows, and open sightlines. Each level serves a distinct purpose: from the ground-floor office surrounded by books and plants, to a 3.3-metre-long stainless steel kitchen tucked between floors, to the flexible living and dining area that leads seamlessly to a west-facing bedroom filled with greenery. Thoughtfully crafted details include a 6-metre-high bookshelf and stairs that double as storage, seating, and shelving. 00:00-01:16 Introduction 01:16-01:31 Location 01:31-03:04 Floor Plan 03:04-04:18 Entrance 04:18-05:01 Office 05:01-05:27 Storage 05:27-06:23 Bookshelf 06:23- 08:04 Kitchen 08:04-08:41 Living and Dining Room 08:41-09:27 Bedroom 09:27-10:24 Bathroom 10:24-10:41 Balcony 10:41- Conclusion #smallapartment #architecture #interiordesign Ep 221 Project Name: Building Frame of the House Architect: https://igarchitects.jp/ Produced by New Mac Video Agency Creator: Colin Chee Director, Cinematographer & Editor: Nam Tran Producer: Lindsay Barnard Music: Artlist.io Silky Secrets by Tomer Lavie Its Winter Time by T Bless the Professionals Go on Journeys by idokay Landscapes from a Train by Tommy H Brandon Share your projects with us- https://www.nevertoosmall.com/submissions Subscribe to our newsletter- https://www.nevertoosmall.com/subscribe Check out our store- https://www.nts-store.com Website- https://www.nevertoosmall.com Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/nvtsmall Facebook- https://www.facebook.com/nvtsmall
