Micro Japanese Home by Kochi Architect’s Studio

WORDS Mary Garner

The exciting interior of this suburban Tokyo home, featuring a patchwork design of seven different colours, was put together by Kochi Architect’s Studio.

The vibrant interior of this suburban Tokyo home, dubbed ANA House, showcases a patchwork design incorporating seven distinct colours, masterfully crafted by Kochi Architect’s Studio. This innovative approach breathes new life into the space, transforming it into a dynamic and visually stimulating environment.

Kochi Architect’s Studio used asymmetrical plywood panels to separate different areas with colourful accents. This approach not only defines the spaces but also adds an element of surprise, making each room unique. The creative use of colour and form introduces new perspectives throughout the small home, creating a sense of openness beyond its actual size.

The interior is divided into patchwork-style areas, each characterised by a different colour. This technique enhances spatial perception, making the home appear larger and more complex. The graphic quality of the design contributes to its innovative density, providing a sense of depth and intrigue.

The studio’s main objective was to design a series of scenic views within the home, enabling residents to have a view of different spaces from a single vantage point. This not only makes the most of the limited space but also ensures that the interior remains captivating and dynamic. The outcome is a home that feels both spacious and intimate, showcasing the studio’s design expertise.
