Kinuta Residential House
Kinuta Residential House
Kinuta is a residential house built on a narrow urban plot in Tokyo, Japan. The site is 3.6 m wide, and setback rules reduce the effective frontage to under 2.6 m. The living, dining, and kitchen area is placed on the second floor to gain privacy and southern daylight. A walled courtyard with a timber deck and planted green walls turns the setback zone into a quiet outdoor room. The entrance, corridor, and stair form a linear sequence that emphasizes depth. Dark ceramic siding with a dry joint system keeps the facade joints continuous, including at corners.
