Optimising the use of space: inspiring living concepts and layout solutions In the densely populated urban areas of Japan, small houses with unusual spatial concepts and surprising layout solutions are emerging on narrow strips of land that would normally be considered unsuitable for home construction. Yet it's not only this sense of space, but also the sensory use of materials and a feel for aesthetics skillfully combined with traditional elements that have fascinated architects outside of Japan.
