What is an affluent life?

We live in an age in which people can work without being restricted by location. How should we relate to the place where we live and the town where we live, and what kind of place should we create?

 

Higashi-Nagasaki is a bedtown, two stations from Ikebukuro. In spite of its location in this densely populated area, the Ichibankan building has a rich garden. 

The front yard, which is open to the community, is used for events and to create a daily living space with the vegetable garden, and a rooftop garden is planned on the open roof top for residents to share. Utilizing these external spaces as thresholds in daily life enriches living and creates an opportunity to foster a relationship with the city.

 

 

The vacant dwelling units were renovated as a shared office facing the front garden, a dwelling unit with a field edge on the south side, and a dwelling unit with a large earthen floor on the third floor, creating a compact living/working space like a base for enjoying outside life.It is a compact living/working space that is like a base for enjoying life outside. 

 

The proposal includes a garden, a field, a large earthen floor, a balcony, a front yard, an approach, and even a rooftop, where residents can choose where to spend their time both inside and outside.
