Squeezed In

Kenji Ido’s Tamatsu House in Osaka, Japan is wedged in an urban, mixed-used area of small factories and office buildings that coexist in lines of very vertical structures! A major problem with this type of close-construction is the sparse amount of natural light able to enter the house, thereby making an already small space seem smaller. To counteract this issue, a clever mixture of skylights and inclined walls break up both the space and incoming light. So effectively, in fact, that you’d have almost no idea the entire house is a mere 1000 square feet!
