Japanese design studio Akio Isshiki Architects updated the House in Hattori-Tenjin, which is located in Osaka. It is renovated with various levels in order to maximize light and encourage a more playful design. The home is located on a busy residential street and the team worked with a tight budget. The goal was to simply bring more life into the home whilst keeping most of the building's structure, unveiling a void at the front section.
Studio founder Akio Isshiki speaks to Dezeen about the design process, noting "The existing house had a two-dimensional impression, with a standardized facade and floor plan. By inserting a blank space, we thought of transforming the space into an unrestricted residential space that goes beyond a two-dimensional drawing. The inspiration came from watching the client's children play with toy houses. I felt that the way children perceive space may be unrestricted by floor plans or facades
