"FLOOR PLAN:
The Textbook of Floor Plans -
What is the Right Answer to a Comfortable Floor Plan?
A Special Feature Useful for Renovations and Home Building!
For a long time, residential floor plans have been built on the premise of the LDK format.
Rational floor plans, developed against the backdrop of post-war massification, became widely established in Japanese living spaces, but now that lifestyles and values have diversified, that plan may not always be optimal.
From examples of renovations that have removed partitions and reconstructed the floor plan as a one-room space, to the smooth flow and sequence creation methods derived from the years of experience of housing masters, the design of openings that bring light and scenery into the room, and the optimal solutions for furniture and space dimensions that create comfort...
We have gathered renovation samples of floor plans that have been carefully considered down to the smallest size in pursuit of the ideal home.
