**"Living and renting combined" in a real-scale building under approximately 15 tsubo in high-priced Tokyo housing.**
The characteristic of this model house, with a building area of "under approximately 15 tsubo," allows you to truly experience the conditions of building a house on a limited urban plot (compact land), which is a trend in Tokyo housing. We have concentrated our unique advanced design know-how here, resulting in a rental-integrated house where "the first floor is rental space, and the second and third floors are the owner's living space," feasible in Tokyo. It can also be viewed as an example of effective land utilization.
**2-minute walk from Shin-Okubo Station. Parking available. Reservations and viewings available at your preferred time.**
**Highly functional island kitchen with underfloor storage in the study**
**Soundproof room**
**Equipped with aspirational amenities**
**Open-plan space design**
**Open living**
**Cleverly exterior tiles**
**Wide variety of exterior tiles available**
**Comfortable household chore flow**
**Laundry completed on one floor**
**"Wasting not even 10cm®" space design**
**"1st floor rental space" (approx. 30㎡) that generates income**
By creatively utilizing limited space, the upper part of the semi-basement is used as a "loft." The LDK features an island kitchen, creating a rental space where a single person can live an open and stylish life, realizing a model where the owner can earn income while living there.
**"1st to 3rd floor owner's living space" that enables comfortable living**
Our strengths, such as house building that proposes comfortable living and "wasting not even 10cm®" space utilization, can be experienced here. This includes a spacious LDK, a "soundproof room" for musical instrument practice or hobbies, underfloor storage in the study, and a "one-floor laundry flow" from the roof balcony to the laundry room, eliminating the need to go up and down stairs.
**"3-story atrium" and "bridge walkway" connecting spaces**
By adopting our latest technology for structural calculations of wooden frame construction and metal fittings, a dynamic atrium extends straight from the entrance to the third floor, and a floating bridge-like walkway creates an "overwhelming sense of openness" that makes you forget the limited size of the plot.
