House S is like having your very own sanctuary in the middle of the hustle and bustle of a big city. Located in Tokyo, House S focuses on the importance of having a peaceful place to escape to at the end of the day.
Designed by Keiji Ashizawa, House S used to be a samurai residence way back when. While the outside of the house features a black design, the interior features an open concept that lets in plenty of natural light. Each floor of House S has its own garden to promote a feeling of tranquility. With such a sense of calm enveloping the home, whoever lives in this space will feel like they've escaped to the middle of nowhere rather than the metropolis of Tokyo.
Let House S whisk you away to a land of peace and quiet.
