DFA Design for Asia Awards 2024 l Silver Award l Spatial Design l Home & Residential SpacesVertical Sanctuary
This urban dwelling in central Tokyo ingeniously extends its garden from the ground to the roof, creating a unique vertical connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. With air and light flowing through its stacked gardens, the design maximises the sense of openness despite its dense city location. Minimalist in form, the house incorporates four distinct garden spaces—Entrance, Living, Bath, and Sky—tailored to modern living needs, reflecting shifts in work, family life, and personal space brought about by the pandemic. This thoughtful integration of nature and architecture creates a harmonious living environment. -
