This house for a young Tokyo family occupies a prime corner plot in a quiet residential area in the center of Tokyo. Its architect is local Japanese architecture studio Apollo, founded by Satoshi Kurosaki, and its design, called Le49II, aims to provide its owners with a luxurious residence and a spacious and practical base for home work.
Le49Ⅱ by Apollo: contemporary Tokyo residence
The project has few clues of its multitasking visible from the street, hidden behind its minimalist architecture and geometric facade made of charcoal gray galvanized steel walls, gray natural granite retaining walls and resinous wood louvres. A large opening on the top floor, along the terrace, provides a hint of life within the walls of the house.
The workspace is hidden on the ground floor. The ground floor contains the entrance, bedroom and bathroom. Meanwhile, the piano hall on the upper floor is reserved for the home’s generous living space, dramatically positioned beneath the exposed pitched roof and high ceilings (although the kitchen and dining area have lower internal heights to create a more cozy feel and welcome sense of compression).
‘Le49 II provides an ideal space that allows each family member to express their individuality while fostering a sense of family unity. The architects write that this home truly embodies the concept of compact luxury.
Apollo’s award-winning portfolio includes residences such as Timeless, also in Tokyo, and Grigio, which was nominated for Best Private Residence at the Wallpaper* Design Awards in 2015.
