Looking for inspiration for your small home or apartment? You can find 30 of the worlds best apartments and homes under 50 square meters in our book, available at www.nevertoosmall.com/store

Set on a 31sqm plot of land in the central Bunkyo district of Tokyo, the uniquely shaped Love2 House belongs to Architect Takeshi Hosaka and his wife Megumi. Surrounded by 10 storey neighbouring buildings, the design of the uniquely shaped single-storey tiny house responded directly to the need for both privacy and light, which Hosaka addressed with a high ceiling and a dynamic skylight. The compact home has been meticulously designed to ensure sufficient space and amenities for the habits and hobbies Hosaka and his wife enjoy most. Featuring a dedicated alcove for records, an exterior bath concealed from neighbours, and a detailed modular kitchen. The living space opens directly onto the footpath, featuring an extensive garden as part of the home, and extension of a bespoke dining area. Love2 House is an oasis amidst the bustle of Tokyo, without sacrificing the amenity of city life.

I love how this isn’t in English. More like this please! I get uncomfortable seeing architects struggle through English when they could express themselves so much better in their own languages.

finally a home that doesn't feel like a model house, and actually looks and feels lived in. it's been awhile. as someone who loves high ceiling, i love this house. the sunlight coming in from the roof looks very pretty. ps: i hope you can feature more of japanese house/architecture. i love their style and aesthetic so much

This house has so much personality, sentimentality and lived in functionality/coziness that lacks in many of these coldly designed minimalist builds. I enjoy the reuse of items and quirky features like a shower that acts as a doorway. Brilliant!

While it is definitely more visually busy than most of the spaces on this channel, it's nice to see someone living small without the usual minimalist aesthetic. You can tell that they love what they own and have arranged the space to enjoy those possessions.

They could’ve totally built a loft/second story but chose having sunlight and a tall ceiling instead. Respect

I love how cozy and lived in this feels. They have stuff! You can see stuff everywhere! I feel like that's missing from a lot of the apartments you film, they almost never seem to have any of life's little necessities lying about. This architect prominently displays his tub of oxy-clean under the sink. I love it.

It’s certainly impressive. I don’t know if I have the patience or strength to live that closely with another human being - but they seem to be making it work for them! The vast ceiling height must help with cooking smells, condensation and ventilation. And the outdoor bath is a concession to luxury which they must enjoy. A very interesting house!

I love seeing what architects build for themselves and how specific they can get to their needs/wants (like measuring out the exact size of the alcove by the bed??). Absolutely loved watching this!

Interesting that they still live in their tiny house. I saw a video on them years ago and this new arrival shows that they have adapted nicely to the unique space.

So nice to hear the architect speak their language of choice. I hope this trends continues in NTS as it feels really natural.

I’ve seen this tiny home on a different YouTube channel before but never noticed it was in the neighborhood I grew up in! It’s literally about a block away from my parents’ condo (it’s actually in this video) and I’ve probably walked by this house many times. I really love what they did with their house, I wish it was mine!

I've never seen a house that fills me with this much joy. It's like it's a house that is so full of loved objects, like records and books, and glasses. Absolutely perfect.

This is by far one of my favorite episodes. Despite being less than 200 sq ft, it's well thought out, cozy, and full of warmth. And well-lived in, unlike many that are super spartan. The pen caddy is adorable, the outdoor tub seems like bliss, and the airplane cart is genius!

I remember watching this 2 or 4 years ago? So happy seeing it again! I am still in love at how the space was managed 😍

I am an architect and I don't know why but my eyes teared up from calmness and peace. A very special home.

Favourite tiny house this year, easily. So sweet and humble.

it's fascinating how warm and comfy they've managed to make this look considering the walls are just concrete slabs, i can't put my finger on how they've done it exactly but i don't think i've ever seen anything else like it. i am obsessed with that table with the vintage sewing machine base, that's the kind of super obviously "upcycled" furniture i wish i had more of

I love this house, especially the sunroof. Summer in Japan can be quite hot and humid so I would imagine that this would be quite cool in summer compared to other places.

This is the first one of these I remember that seems lived in, rather than styled for a photoshoot. I love it!
