This home really reflects the personality of its owners. It's designed perfectly how they live and what they want

Finally a real essential design filled with real life living.

man this house is cool. I love how this video shows their clutter and cramped areas so it actually feels lived in and full of stuff. sometimes these tiny home videos feel like theyre just showing show homes with how clean and neat the interiors are...so lacking in random crap and personal items and knick knacks

This couple have 3 child, they are national heroes for Japan.

The Japanese houses featured always feature the most unique, individualistic people. It may not be for everyone, but that's exactly the point. Love it, and you can see the creativity that comes through, not just in the house, but also how they raise their children and spend time as a family.

Finally, a house that doesn't look like an Airbnb.

YES "a small house is similar to a boat" finally someone gets it! we could learn soooo much from camping/yacht design, when it comes to efficient living spaces!

I loss my love for architecture when I dug too deep into aesthetic designs, THIS, this warms my heart and I feel a bit of that love come back, so thank you!

“being my own client, i can do anything like, no roof! That was cool“ might be the sickest thing anyone has ever said on this show love this man and his harry potter office

I saw this house on another channel when the dad's hair was still black and the kids were smaller. I see they have not decided to divide the kid's bedroom yet! It still looks cozy and fun. On the other channel they showed the kids playing with the fallen snow in the living room! I love Japanese architects' fearlessness in breaking conventions. I am inspired and try to translate these ideas to my life here in America, without worrying about people judging me for living in a small home, and considering starting a family here. (PS: I also love how Japanese homes always seem crammed with so much random stuff, but it always looks so personal and cool, not like hoarder clutter. How do they do that!?)

I love everything about this, the house has so much personality. I that they also specified that the kids' bedrooms will be divided in the future to offer them more privacy as they grow older, it feels like they're really incorporating the whole family's needs into the design of the space :)

Honestly, after watching this video I can't help but be reminded of my grandma's house in Mexico. There was a large square open space where she kept her plants, a sink and concrete tub that she filled with water for washing clothes. I loved it as a kid because it was big enough for my brothers and I to play and there was no roof so I often would look up at the sky.

I love that his two workplaces are the most open and most enclosed parts of the house

It's definitely not the most conventional design, but having a house of 57sqm in the central that able to hammock and enjoy the best possible summer experience make this one of my favorite.

There’s a beautiful chaos to this and I love how much of their character and hobbies fill the space like a true home

what a unique, lively, rich, vivid, beautiful home.

I felt like this is a real home, not a piece of a museum, loved most of the details!!! great house!!

I really enjoyed seeing this house. It seemed the most authentic example yet – almost as if the space had evolved organically from the needs and interests of the family.

This is the coolest thing I've ever seen from an Asian architect. It shows the individual architect's style, lifestyle and way of thinking. More than that, it also shows the lifestyle of an Asian family where all members share living space, hobbies and spend most of their time at home together. This style is a rarity in modern life, which increasingly emphasizes individuality and privacy, causing people to become more withdrawn and limit daily interactions with their own relatives. I look forward to exploring more similar architectural styles that can create more common spaces for family members. A space where parents can work, cook, play and teach their children rather than family members only meeting for dinner and returning to their bedrooms. This is a style that will help children grow up with bonds, filled with love and memories of family, parents, siblings, rather than caring about weird, hateful things on social networks.
