Private lodging in Minato&ku / FujiwaraMuro Architects

This is a private lodging with a frontage of 5.2 m along a main street, with an effective internal width of 3.9 m. The client requested a space that evoked the atmosphere of traditional Japanese architecture. Based on the client's request, we envisioned a floating tea room-like lattice structure with shoji screens (traditional Japanese lattice-and-paper screens), which are visible from the outside, and a small garden path leading to the shoji box.
