[Renovation Highlights & Layout Changes]
Although this is a compact unit, the original layout had a Western-style room of about 6 tatami that was a little too large for singles or DINKs, and the kitchen was enclosed. To suit today's lifestyles, we relocated the Western-style room, turned the kitchen into a counter-facing style that overlooks the living room, and made the Western-style room more compact so the LDK could be used more spaciously.

The LD, which felt dark in the original layout, was brightened with light-colored wallpaper, warm-toned wood-grain flooring and a color-adjustable ceiling light. Indirect lighting in the ceiling not only adds brightness but also creates a luxurious living and dining room reminiscent of a high-rise tower condominium.
[Kitchen]

A system kitchen in calm tones, with plenty of storage and a spacious work area.
A well-equipped kitchen with a built-in dishwasher that makes washing up after every meal easier.
Converting the former enclosed kitchen into a counter-facing kitchen provides:
- A sense of connection with the living room even while cooking
- Improved household flow
- A design where daily life naturally centers on the LDK
This balances the openness and functionality that modern homes demand.

An entrance with abundant storage.
A shoe cabinet with a large mirror makes getting ready to go out quick and easy.
As it is the first space you see when entering the home, marble-look tiles and indirect lighting were used to create a bright, clean impression.
Motion-sensor downlights have also been installed to suit modern living.
[Bathroom]
Before

As the bathroom is a compact 1216-size unit, white-based panels were used so it doesn't feel cramped.
In addition, the bath has reheating and automatic filling functions suited to modern lifestyles, so there's no need to keep an eye on the water level.
It also has a bathroom dryer, so it can be used to dry laundry if you prefer not to hang it on the balcony, or to quickly dry important clothes needed the next day.
[Toilet]

- The toilet has a heated seat, so it is comfortable even in the cold winter months.
- It also features a warm-water bidet function for peace of mind in everyday hygiene.
- As a water-saving model, it also helps keep water bills down with daily use.

The vanity has wall-mounted storage with plenty of room for small items, keeping the space clean and clutter-free. It also comes with a pull-out shower hose, making washing your face and caring for your hair in the morning effortless.
