Set in a quiet neighbourhood in Osaka prefecture, the newly built three storey F-House is a compact, timber home for a family of 4. To accommodate existing furniture and maximise common living space instead of separate private rooms, architect Kazuteru Matsumura kept the home relatively open plan. Making use of strategically placed velcro curtains instead of regular doors, an atmospheric and cost effective solution that creates flexible zones and conceals storage spaces. Avoiding custom furniture throughout the home as well as in the children’s bedroom kept cost down, and each piece was carefully selected to create a flexible multifunctional space, with a desk and storage fitting neatly underneath the bunk beds. In the living room, the extra space in the high ceiling has been used to create a playspace and room for storage that can be accessed via a ladder OR a uniquely placed rock climbing wall.

Sometimes the houses on Never Too Small are too minimalistic, other times not so much.
i love the use of the space as it fits the clients life and the children.
the curtains is a bit much for me, but it isn't my home and if this makes more sense and cost effective … +1
i love the kitchen and bathroom as wel las the sep toilet
Oh and I love the color and texture of the outside of the house. so beautiful and that front door as sliding +1
I am concerned with the insulation from the roof…how would that work in the winter?
Is there really only one toilet, on the 2nd floor, for the entire family? What do they do if they all catch the stomach flu? And, how do both kids do homework in their bedroom at the same time? It does not appear that both desks can be in use at the same time. What if one child needs to get a drink or use the restroom? Do they have to parkour out of the bedroom? So many questions!!!
I do really like the upper floor. Not so much the bedroom zone, specially the parents room with small separate beds and that "closet". And also liked that it's a real home, with many storage areas to hide everyday items.
really simple and efficient design, love the kids room. separate beds for the parents makes for better sleep!
What I love so much about this video (besides the amazing use of design and the different floors) is that the home owners don't try to reinvent the wheel and simply buy the beds from a furniture shop and keep their "old" furniture. Some people seem to forget the first of the sustainable R's: Reuse
Why are parents made to sleep on different separated beds and also without any actual privacy from noisy kids room? I wonder!
A forma como ele explica cada detalhesinho é muito agradável e nostálgico de certa forma, um ambiente bem único
Love how the minimalist house is also built with fun in mind. The wall climbing is pretty wild but awesome touch to an otherwise simply layout space. Instead of multiple drawers to hide things away from view, they use curtain. Cheap, dead simple and very effective. Very Japanese way of thinking 🇯🇵
Huge kudos 👏🏼
I love that this isn't a realistic portrayal of the house. Not dressed for the video. Sets realistic expectations.
It maybe a weird question to ask but why do the parents room has 2 single beds🤔🤔🤔?
It's hard to be invested if I can't understand the language please release dubbed versions of the videos not recorded in eng
Family of 4 living in 57sqm? Brilliant design, but it's a bit tight and sad at the same time.
That one wedge holding up the beam is always a marvel in craftsmanship to me.
Awesome Japanese classic theme but I think is weird idea because the kitchen in 3rd floor and use stand ladder this is impossible to move food to 2nd floor.
Finally, an authentic, functional, *minimalist*, no bull sh*t design.
Hopefully, by the time those kids are in their teens, their dad can build them their own tiny houses 😂
There's a lot to love in this house and it's certainly very beautiful – one think I've always admired about Japan is how they manage to make things that are brand-new and high-tech simultaneously very cosy, homey and warm to look at. But I don't know why people aren't saying more about the bed situation – have these parents just committed to celibacy for the rest of their lives??!
Awesome
Looooved the flyscreens everywhere hahaha as someone who lives in a hot country/area these are really important items to have. Also loved the design, it really feels like a house that people actually live in!
How do they use the underfoor storage? Is it a true root cellar?
Congratulations on finally realising that your channel is global and that there is no need to have designers speak in contrived English just to please a certain audience (and sometimes having to add subtitles anyway because it's hard to follow). This was a beautiful home, and a really beautiful video.
Idk it's not really small space, so the layout and design could've been better, no alternative for climbing rocks, not everyone or anyone always can use it, it's risky and curtains get dirty soon you'd have to keep washing them, they're even in the kitchen. I don't like it.
