Lighthouse

Tokyo, Japan

The site is a flagpole lot in a quiet residential area. Even though it is a flagpole lot, the small plaza at the end of the lot is fully glazed to visually connect the inside and the outside, allowing for the connection with people passing by and the local community.
The multipurpose room, which has a completely independent water supply, can be used for a variety of purposes, including a guest room, study, future children's room, studio, office, and gallery. The house with a freestanding multipurpose room is intended to be a new prototype that supports the diversified needs of modern people.
With the exception of the multipurpose room on the first floor, all other rooms are connected except for the bathroom. The clerestory windows in all directions like a lighthouse and a skipped floor create an open and light-filled living space.
