How a Japanese Family of Five Live in Their Small Open Air Home, Tokyo 57sqm/613sqft

Video Description

Give the gift of Never Too Small this Christmas — four issues, delivered quarterly https://www.nts-store.com/products/nts-magazine-4-issue-gift-subscription For Japanese artist and architect Zajirogh and his family, living small isn’t about compromise, it’s about living closely, creatively and together. In this 57sqm/613sqft home, designed with the help of Yoshitaka Suzuki and shared with his wife and three children, you can hear laughter from the bath, conversations in the kitchen, and kids playing upstairs. The main living space opens directly to the sky, doubling as both a family living room and a place for Zajirogh’s large-scale paintings. A piano, hanging lights, plants and five bold colours drawn from his own art give the space its playful character. Everyday practicality shapes the home too, kitchen shelves sized to their favourite containers, a sliding door that hides or reveals storage, and a stair nook turned trolley shelf. Upstairs, the hard-working mezzanine holds a small study, a playroom and a sleeping loft for the kids, accessed by a DIY shelving ladder. The bathroom by the entrance is even complete with a small window that lets Zajirogh hear family life while he unwinds.
