Entry Description

This is an apartment renovation project in Tokyo.
The client was looking for “An Essence of Japan”, and a layout that could also serve as bed & breakfast accommodation.
We decided to place a big bathtub in the middle of the space to help visualize the concept of the Japanese spirit.
The idea was based on my own life experience in Europe, where I have missed the bathing ritual more even than sushi.
From this idea, we designed a space that literally centers on a bathtub, where the bathroom can be a living room, a dining room, and a kitchen.
