■ Two Types of 'Ease' to Choose by Lifestyle: Homes for 'Smartness' and 'Connection'
In an era where dual-income households account for over 70% of all households*, the value expected from a home is changing significantly. The desire to streamline chores and spend more time for the family—'SMART PLUS for Dual-Income Households' answers these voices. (*From a 2020 Cabinet Office survey)
On the other hand, there is also a growing demand for a lifestyle that can be completed entirely on the first floor with an eye toward old age, as well as open spaces that connect freely. The answer to this is the 'Almost Flat House: FLAT+LIFE'.
The dedicated website launched this time introduces the concepts, design features, and equipment specifications of these two products with abundant visuals.
■ SMART PLUS for Dual-Income Households ─ 'Making Daily Life Easier' - A Home That Makes Chores Your Ally
'SMART PLUS for Dual-Income Households' was planned with the goal of thoroughly supporting the busy daily lives of dual-income families. Finishing work, picking up children, and then returning home to continuous daily chores like cooking, washing, and storing.
By smoothly connecting this series of tasks without waste, we pursue a 'chore pathway that can be completed within the same day'. What is born from this is accumulated 'extra time'. At the end of the day, you can secure even a little time to spend with your family or to compose yourself.
'SMART PLUS for Dual-Income Households' is not just a floor plan proposal; it is a new form of housing that maximizes the time value for dual-income households. It is a series of subdivision houses characterized by a design that further strengthens chore pathways compared to general floor plans, and smart equipment specifications that stay close to busy days. It strongly supports chore processes such as cooking, washing, and storing through 'minimization of pathways' and 'smart equipment'.
[Main Features]
- Pathway design separating washing and undressing. Morning routines and chores do not cross paths.
- Shortened travel distance between kitchen, dressing room, and washing machine. Minimizes movement stress during chores.
- Adopts the gas clothes dryer 'Kanta-kun'.
- Standardly equipped with a large-capacity delivery box that can receive packages while away.
- Peninsula kitchen + front-open dishwasher make cooking comfortable and efficient.
- Realizes a high-quality living space with accent walls, indirect lighting, and flooring different from standard specifications.
(Specifications and floor plans vary by property, and all of the above may not be adopted.)
By completing 'washing, drying, and putting away' within the same day, we gently support the daily lives of busy dual-income households.
Plan Example CASE01: Lighten daily laundry with a spacious dressing room.
