The Homeowners of the project is a couple who engage in fashion design. The house owner loves Japanese comics and animation, and also collects so many comic books and figurines for many years. Therefore, he hopes to display his collections in the house so that he can share with his friends and visitors.
Since the original condition of the house is good enough, the designers didn’t change the layout. The designers start the design from the display cabinet in the living room and connect the iron pieces together to make the framework inside the house. As putting a large dollhouse in this house, we let the framework go through the walls, connecting the studio with the bedroom. The framework not only creates a street-like hallway but also mitigate the narrow feeling of the space imperceptibly.
The concept of the study room/ studio is the same as the common area. Besides, the frames become large hangers for the couple to hang their clothes and fabrics used on work, and extend as the parts of the shelves and desk at the corner of the studio.
In this "house in house", the definition of indoor and outdoor is no longer important. We make the dream in childhood come true: Going into a dreamed dollhouse like Alice in Wonderland.
"Honey, did you make the doll house bigger? Or, we shrank?"
