This is an apartment for singles. The floor area of the dwelling unit is small, about 26m2.
I think this is an apartment for singles with an average floor area in Japan, but it should be called a micro apartment. There are large industrial areas and universities nearby. This was built for the residence of those who commute to them. The building has three floors, and there are eight dwelling units on the second and third floors. The first floor will be a beauty salon and study school.
As it is a city under construction, many houses, nurseries, supermarkets and new roads are being built every day. However, there are still many vacant lots.
The owner had a desire to continue to be one of the town's expressions in an area that changes every day.
We made a pale plasterer wall at the entrance of the hair salon and study school on the first floor. It is located on both sides of the 8.8m high box of black galvalume in the dwelling unit. They show that this building has several functions.
