The Fudamae Apartment is designed by ISSHO Architects an architectural design office based in Tokyo and they got my attention with this apartment window’s design that has an unusual shape. The Fudomae apartment’s design makes the most of a limited volume while creating a comfortable urban living space . Each 18 sqm unit fits a living room, kitchen, bathroom and storage. The tight arrangement is transformed into a design expression, particularly through the location and shape of the window, which designates the placement of the bed and other furniture. The window’s angle and height corresponds to both the interior of the room and the scenery outside, linking the Japanese single lifestyle and the natural environment.

Living here would send you Picaso!
whacky windows…big deal…
Seriously, a twin size bed AT the height of the windows? Are we sure these are for Japanese adults? How can sex not be taken into account in the single lifestyle, and no wonder their birth rate is super low!
oh, you kooky Japanese…
