This apartment house is located at the edge area of the city₋center of Tokyo. The site is surrounded by many various houses, offices and factories, so this area can be said disorderly. And there is no traditional or cultural feature in this cityscape, in a word, no taste. So we intended to give a lively atmosphere with three vital colors of the railing glass wall panels on thebalconies. This only 6 dwelling unit apartment house is small, but the entrance hall, semipublic buffer space between the streets and the living spaces, is two₋layer atrium. We hope the residents to feel the dignity and the richness of life when they enter this high entrance hall, looking up at the bright colors.
