Denenchofu 4

Town house located in the area of Denenchofu 4 chome, Tokyo. Due to the narrow and elongated shape of the plot, the project articulate its spaces in a linear manner, gradating them from the most public against the street to the most private towards the back courtyard.

Spaces are linked by a corridor that defines also the route of the facilities installations, which run parallel to it. This strategy defines three clear spatial “stripes” that define the project, the living area stripe, the facilities stripe and the circulation one.

The approach to materials and finishings aims to control the size of spaces emphasizing surfaces over lines or edges and restraining the color palette used all over the project.
