【Tokyo, Taito Ward】The Latest in Compact Urban Housing: Fire-Resistant Wooden 3-Story Home Built on a Tiny 11-Tsubo Lot to Be Showcased at Completion Tour

For those considering new homes or condominiums in Tokyo: CleverlyHome Shoto Store and Shinjuku Store, operated by ou2 Corporation under the 'No Waste of Even 10cmⓇ' home-building concept, will host a completion tour for a 'fire-resistant wooden 3-story home' on June 27 (Sat) and 28 (Sun), 2026, in Taito Ward, Tokyo. Amid ongoing surges in central Tokyo condominium prices, this project offers 'a new option: a detached home within the city.' Despite strict constraints—approximately 11 tsubo of land and two-directional height restrictions—the highly engineered space achieves a 3LDK layout with a rooftop balcony (roof deck), to be specially unveiled. Experience firsthand how compact urban plots are transformed into modern, comfortable homes.

Maximizing the value of a challenging '11-tsubo compact lot'—a response to urban challenges

As central Tokyo condominium prices continue to rise to historic highs, 'detached homes in the city center' are being reevaluated for their ability to reduce high running costs such as maintenance fees. However, urban land is often limited to small or irregularly shaped plots, making it difficult to meet desired size and layout requirements. This property, on a mere 11.28-tsubo plot in Taito Ward, achieves a 3LDK layout with zero wasted space. In addition to private rooms and a spacious living area, it includes an extra space: a 'rooftop balcony (roof deck).' This offers a new option for those who had nearly given up on buying a home in central Tokyo.

Overcoming the difficult challenge of 'two-directional height restrictions' through advanced design

In urban home construction, the biggest obstacle is 'height restrictions' imposed to ensure light and ventilation to neighboring properties and roads. This site faced strict height limitations from two directions. By adopting an advanced design technique called 'kagamiyane' (lowered ridge), which carefully shapes the roof, the project secured sufficient height while complying with regulations. Even on plots deemed 'undesignable' and rejected by other companies, our expertise in Tokyo's compact lots enabled us to deliver a home without compromise—precisely through our 'No Waste of Even 10cmⓇ' design philosophy.
