Our second book is now shipping worldwide. Be among the first to get your hands on it here With the help of architect Kei Makito from Roovice, owners David and Koichi transformed their western Tokyo apartment into a vibrant, open space featuring a unique blend of textures and materials, including exposed cement, stainless steel, and warm woods. Key to the redesign was removing all the bedroom walls, relocating the kitchen to a corner under a large window and adding a double sided custom joinery pod to the middle of the apartment. Their custom steel Ikea kitchen, elevated on striking blue PVC tiles, includes smart design and storage elements like an open metal shelf and a repurposed medical trolley. A sharp transition to a concrete floor signifies a move to the living area, dressed with antique furnishings, plants, and books and separated from the small shared studio by way of a custom bookshelf. On the other side of the storage pod, a simple ceiling-mounted linen curtain concealed or reveals the bedroom. Through unique and thoughtful design choices, this home is a true reflection of David and Koichi's style and functionality. #smallapartment #architecture #interiordesign Ep 170 Project Name: Tokyo Blue Apartment Owner/Interview: David Buchler Architect: Kei Makito Produced by New Mac Video Agency Creator: Colin Chee Director, Cinematographer, Producer: Nam Editor: Sebastian Tibbs Music: Soft Rode by O.K., To Lay Down Everything Youve Built by Dear Gravity, Light Fixtures by smplsmth
