Renovations

Apartment in Kitasando is a minimal interior located in Tokyo, Japan, designed by Minorpoet. The clients approached the architects to renovate an apartment that was originally built in the 1960s. The renewal of the space would not only change the overall layout, but conceal the kitchen through a series of folding doors. The designer created a floor plan in which a narrow hallway would surround the living and dining area, which was meant to resemble a Kyoto townhouse.
