1 hour of Japanese Small Homes Under 60sqm/600sqft
1 hour of Japanese Small Homes Under 60sqm/600sqft
A compilation of some of our most loved Japanese homes that we’ve shared on Never Too Small, featuring small home designs for families, tiny plots deep in the heart of Tokyo smaller than a car parking space, oddly shaped homes spread across multiple levels. All examples of beautiful and detailed design, even if at times outwardly…

i dont even have an air conditioner in my apartment in germany and this guy is air conditioning his open courtyard against 37°C
I like the style suitable home built for an area which is not prone to heavy downpour.
The sleeping situation would never work for me. My hips hurt just looking at it. Ouch. I need something soft to sleep on.
You have made a great home from little space, great design and location
Came to watch one and saw the whole thing
The last was the worst design. Only one design was neat and minimalist.
I think the flagpole house, while wonderfully designed would be just a tad too narrow for me to live in at all.
No le encuentro atractivo a este tipo de viviendas. Me parecen caóticas, como hechas a parches. No las veo nada pràcticas con tantos desniveles, escaleras y espacios diminutos, especialmente las cocinas.
Awesome design and such a sweet son. Mother is blessed! Sweet thing.
Very chaotic living space, there is no space that isn’t free from cluttered belongings ad items. Very claustrophobic. I’d struggle to live in a place like this. Would be even harder if sharing with another
If there is a creative minded, there will be excellent solution.
marble glazed plaster would make that place look like a palace
I like how the TrippTrapp-Chair changes color at Mintute 35:26 🙂 Nicely curated selection of different designs! Thanks NTS!
these homes make me appreciate my small cottage and realize how much room and underused area i actually have
I can see why the second apartment has the most views, its the most concise and well thought out space out of all of them and for such a small space it has a very peaceful vibe, the rest felt chaotic by comparison.
I love the last apartment.
Really, they are all very ugly, impractical, and designed to stroke the ego's of the pretentious occupants and architects. None of them would pass any kind of safety codes for fire or earthquake and are dangerous for children to even move around in. The look like garages with junk stuffed everywhere. Very cluttered and uncomfortable.
19:23 where does the baby and wife sleep? The whole impression is that this is just for a single guy's living.
Let’s be honest, you designed the ENTIRE SPACE around your kitty 😊
👏🏻🆒

I may be going against the current here but I didn't like what I saw. I was hoping to see creative ideas how to make practical use of small spaces. I don't find it creative or practical from an architect to show a house where the bathroom door doesn't fully open, or to have a fridge in a different floor from the kitchen.
I'm surprised by some of these designs, the inefficient use of space with high ceilings in one room and then having to squeeze everything else into what's left.
The leather and wood sits on the fourth home are called Equipales and are the traditional sits on the Mexican haciendas.
I adore the Japanese aesthetic. Normally. And I really wanted to love these apartments. But I don't. They're … weird. Uncomfortable looking, even. Use of space is oddly placed in a couple of them. Not sure what they're wanting to prove, but they're all just very odd indeed.
37:43 so basically, if someone want to go out of the house from 2nd floor while another one using bathroom, they have to wait right?
Loved the last one the most, hadn't seen it before. Full of character, and still really functional.
I watched this twice, it’s SO good! 🩵
Thank you sir from house #2. The album with the moustache guy was intriguing me, so I “google lensed” it. Kenny Rankin, House of Gold, it’s worth a listen. BTW, I love you house, and the fact that you live with your mother 😊
como conseguiste el mueble del avion?
I love the Japanese homes exhibited on NTS. Unlike some of the NTS spaces, it always comes across that they are real living spaces where people actually live their full lives. They are compact and functional, but there is thought given to space for cooking, hobbies, and outdoor enjoyment. They never seem like they're just short-term vacation homes designed primarily to meet an aesthetic rather than be usable for long-term living.
Just a big joke. The Japanese population is collapsing. The Japanese and every country has enough room to build. A mansion is ridiculous. These tiny homes are not conducive to a healthy living lifestyle.
Super gemacht.nur is echt klein und dann noch zu zweit
I got so inspired by all of the homes! I especially got ideas on how to use space effectively and how to maximise the use of natural light. It is also comforting to know that minimal spaces doesn't mean devoid of unique and personal, even very artistic touches. I live in 37 sqm and while it's a rental apartment (absolutely nothing is allowed to leave a mark) and there's only so much I can do, there's still so much I can apply.
Tokyo blue was wonderful❤
Absolutely love this compilation!
These are great for people who are less than 185cm and who don't require surfaces to do anything on. The largest objects you can get into homes like this are things you can hand carry on the subway or in a small car. It makes me wonder how much better equipped people are for tinkering/making/inventing/building if they have access to just slightly larger spaces. You can't be a rugged individualist or very self sufficient or even a very good artist without work spaces; and I think in that vein people who live in these houses exhude a dependence on the stores, shops, consumer goods around them for convenient lifestyle. You can't have anything more than an herb garden in a place like this. It's a consumer lifestyle in order to obtain the conveniences that permit acceptable living in such a small space.
I live in a 1500 sqf bungalow in the Canadian Niagara region. I love this video because it shows the ingenuity to make use of small spaces! Most of them are 2/3 smaller than my house now. I used to live in a house we built with 5000 sqf and I was glad when I left there. It’s crazy we don’t need that much space. I’m trying to adapt to Japanese style living with minimal possessions but it’s extremely difficult with a husband who likes to hoard, not excessively but enough to drive me crazy!🤪 I love Japan and the people❤️❤️This video gave me the inspiration to declutter more of my house!
wow wow wow. world premier homes and the amazing people that care for them
Ived worked in japan in tech even with high education, not everyone can speak english as well as this father and son, the father is really good speaker and the son is excellent ❤
For us in the tropics, it's always about overcoming the heat, especially with smaller spaces..
Now every American will want a tiny home in Japan
Love Japanese Architecture
The only thing I even liked about the second home is the kid's album showing is one of my favorites?! Jim Croce 💙💙💙 Otherwise, having a "bedroom" that's basically the couch is less than ideal for a kid growing up…they do need some bedroom privacy once they hit their tweens.
I loved the Open sky house!
they are so smol 😀 kawaii!!!
I'd be worried about the washing machine in the first clip, it needs space to spin and rumble, and for airflow to avoid overheating. I'd always give things with electronics their own space.
Very monochrome and to me, very bland. Colors are mostly absent, utilizing gray, white, and metal. The dwellings are very narrow and high-ceilinged, with a definite lack of windows. I bet there's an echo! Because of all this, combined with the absent color, I found almost each home to be depressing. I can't imagine being a child in this atmosphere. Good use of color stimulates the mind. I do find the clever use of space to be an excellent way to tuck away everything a person needs but doesn't want under foot. However, space-saving storage can't make the house into a home.
Nice to see these again
Well planned space but the clutter could been planned hidden as well.
I like wide sliding doors having frames, despite it bigger than the size of the wall.
