Permeable Yokohama home blends with garden & protects from street

When a Yokohama couple asked architect Takeshi Hosaka to design a home “in which we feel as if we are outdoors”, Hosaka took a triangular lot and used the geometry to trap a garden inside each room.
All of Hosaka’s designs play with the idea of homes as separate from nature: his “Inside Out” leaves everything open for a couple and their 2 cats; and his own “Love House” dances with the indoor tree that dwarfs the tiny space. His “Garden House”, designed for a Tokyo advertising executive seeking a home as refuge, is more of a membrane than a home; it’s highly porous with the garden and nearly impermeable to the street.
Other stories with Hosaka's work:
- Yokohama narrow tiny house breathes, attracts local nature faircompanies.c...
- Lolcat home Japan: old parking becomes loft for couple, cats faircompanies.c...

This is perfect - I'm kind of an introvert and I love the idea of shutting out the outside world but still having sunlight and fresh air within. It's like castle walls protecting you from the rest of the world.

This has to be one of my favourite homes featured on your channel. Beautiful design and the best part about it is how they bring the outdoors inside.

Mulberry tree, that's cool, a better design than the cat house and the tiny treasure box.

Japanese are the architect of small spaces. They really know how to balance nature and being a minimalist.

You've filmed a lot of things in Japan that have a kind of novelty to them. Its been interesting. However, this is the first thing that I would actually want to live in. This is lovely. Being in the city but being in nature. A sanctuary.

With the pandemic I hope they got to actually enjoy the beautiful home they created by working from home. For so many people like him it must have been a blessing in disguise.

Incredible architect! Light and airy. House and garden embrace each other as do the people, the birds, and the tree. How very lovely and tranquil. So very zen and Japanese.

This house is so amazing! I love your work Kristen, keep it up. The way you capture the feeling of each place, and the characters that live there is phenomenal. It always interests me to hear what different people do, it kind of gives an insight on why they chose to design their house in a certain style, or shape.

Reversing the floor space laws... i like that. This design makes the conventional architecture seem almost prison-ic. As far as the trees' forest fight for sunlight... it is still as it would in any forest. As for it's seed finding ground outside the structure... gives one all the more reason to enjoy the birds. To be able to view every room from almost any other room, and yet still feel secure from eyes of neighbors, seems securely healthy for peace and serenity. Y'all sure made the most of the space and law... And got this Texan a carryin on like one a them songbirds. -gilpin 8-7-16.

It's one of the best houses ever featured on the net. Simple, yet spacious and good use of space . Light and air just flows through the whole place. One moot point though , is the Japanese love the climbing of stairs and ladders in their houses apparently . But the country also has the highest greying population in the world. At some point, you cannot traverse the steps that way as a 90 y o .

What a beautiful house for these two nice people. The toilet seems a bit - shall we say - extrovert for my taste but maybe there’s a way to make that private. Also a great idea with the roof terrace, although stairs up there rather than a ladder would have made sense.
