➕ Taiga Kasai () + Chong Aehyang Architecture reinterpret narrow urban living in House in Yanakacho, a 2020 residence in Gunma, Japan, where stacked timber volumes and layered circulation create a surprising sense of openness within a compact footprint. Split levels and carefully placed voids extend spatial continuity across the section, allowing rooms to remain visually connected while maintaining functional distinction. Warm timber, exposed structure, and integrated storage define a calm, tactile interior, while precisely framed openings filter daylight and privacy, shaping a home that feels both intimate and spatially expansive within its dense residential context.
