Stealth is a home hidden behind a monolithic facade in Tokyo

Tokyo is a city in which architecture often competes for space and visibility, and yet Concealment Residence, designed by Satoshi Kurosaki Apollo Architects and Associatestakes the opposite approach. Instead of standing out, this private residence is proud of discretion. His solid exterior conceals the expansion interior that takes place as an oasis, offering residents of the serenity and privacy of luxury resorts, while they are firmly rooted in city neighborhood.

From the street it seems that home is a monolithic, box similar to the structure that contrived over the cellphone level, intentionally reducing the entrance to the home and garage. Stealth’s textured gray facade gives a little, deliberately protect its interiors from live eyes. Design Priority Priority, but not to detriment of light and openness. Instead, architecture is carefully planned with interiors that open, making the experience of moving through the house and surprising and rewarding.

Behind the front door, instead of a conventional foy, is a first view from the car owner collection, including eight-valued vehicles shown in the built-in garage. This unconventional introduction transforms a functional requirement in the Similar Gallery setting. Sunlight from the north-swivel window lights up cars, giving space a feeling of well-lit salon. The double height inlet next to the garage increases drama, with a sculptural spiral staircase winding even though all levels of living space.

Descending into the basement reveals the other side of the house. Unlike many urban cellars, this avoids the exhaust thanks to the sunken yard that delivers daylight to the gym. Neighboring rooms provide space for internal practice of golf and karaoke, emphasizing a sense of residence in benefits. The underground level shows how lightly, often slightly in Tokyo homes, can be used in unconventional ways to create liqueur.

The upper floor serves as a public part of the residence. Here, the day-shaped-shaped room took place around semi-chain cuisine and dining room, encouraging family interaction. Expansive glass walls of lines and northern and southern facades, drawing of natural light until Louvers filtered it into soft glow.

South, three sliding panels with a floor-ceiling transform the interior into the living space outdoors. Once it is open, the border between the interior and the exit is completely dissolved and the terrace becomes an extension of the house. Deeply almost nine feet provides a shade and protection against weather, making space that can be used throughout the season.

The terrace is an infinite pool imperceptibly integrated into architecture and surrounded by lush greenery. In almost nine nine feet deep, the inhabitants can swim high above the city and feel like they are in the spa resort, offering a rare luxury in central Tokyo.

The second level is transferred to the fourth of sleep. The bedrooms and private spaces are opening to the Northern Balcony. The primary apartment contains a walking cup and a family bath, which includes a cabr on a greenhouse overlooking the massive entrance hall. Children’s bedrooms are compact, however personalized with individual wardrons. The study, which also overlook the dramatic entry hall through the glass partition, emphasizes the vertical interconnection of the home, allowing still points to remain visually connected to the rest of the house.
