RON DESIGN / ARTICIOUS CO. LTD – TOKYO URBAN HOUSE
A reinterpretation of a 40-yearold reinforced concrete residence in Tokyo, this project strips away elements to create a renewed urban house inspired by travel. The design preserves the existing structure while reconfiguring the interior layout to support modern lifestyles and enhance spatial quality, atmosphere and everyday life.
YAM STUDIOS- NORTHSHORE
A bespoke new-build on Hayling Island, Northshore comprises a main house, beach house and annex designed as a family home capable of hosting large gatherings while offering private spaces for quieter moments. The project evolved from refurbishment into a full rebuild to address the condition of the original house.
Wood is finished in a subtle whitewash throughout, allowing light to fill the spaces while retaining natural warmth. Soft textures, cross-grain flooring and layered elements such as curtains, rugs and lighting introduce comfort and balance, while custom storage and carefully proportioned furniture support everyday living across.
The second, third and fourth floors are dedicated to family life, with living and dining positioned on the fourth floor to take advantage of rooftop access and create a bright living environment. Bedrooms and bathrooms on the lower floors provide calm private spaces, while the basement combines a man cave and guest bedroom.
Originally a recreation room, the basement was reorganised by rationalising services, water facilities and air-conditioning. Existing beams, rather than being concealed, were incorporated into the design to generate rhythm and depth, forming an intimate retreat conceived as an extraordinary lounge.
