At least it has two toilets.
After WW2, they started throwing up houses labeled "ticky tacky boxes" but they were still better than this.
Claustrophobic personified 😆
Do these homes come with stove, refrigerator, etc.?
Great place to walk away from.
Is sky-high land prices driving such tiny construction or is there another factor at play?
I’ll take the old Japanese farmhouse over the cookie cutter houses any day!
Looks like a decent design for a micro house. Would not mind living there except for the neighborhood, cranky old men and such. 🙂
I would need some green space to keep my sanity, and paint that bitumen white.
i think that's a deal.
They been doing alot of these here where i am in Canada, calling them high-density housing.
Can’t imagine they prefer these home over the beautiful traditional homes.
The toilets have no hand wash? 😮💨 Or do they have this hand wash on the water storage?
There are many building companies and they have a lot of clout politically. Their materials are not as regulated as other countries and can get away with building crap that needs to be replaced regularly. Their profits are high but because there is no pressure on them to improve and people pay their extortionate prices they continue to sell this type of box house. But the government won’t stop it as they make more tax by having these soulless boxes grouped together on tiny parcels of land. The only people to lose are the people themselves. But しょうがない！
No you didn’t did you?
Oh my god yes you did
That looks incredibly cheap and I can’t believe what they’re getting for these.
The juxtaposition of Japan. From elegant craftsmanship from the ages to this cheap ass crap of today no wonder they’re throwaway houses. It’s a shame
i dont think a LDK of 60 m2 will fit in a down floor of 51.84 m2
This house was made for one person. The rooms are for specific purposes. One is the bed room, the other is the game room, the other one the office, and the last one is the storage room. The room where you try to cramp everything in order to fit in this tiny house.
Can't wait to poop into them.
The outside measurements are tsubo. They are 3.3m2. Inside measurements are half that, so all the conversions I did should be halved. (The words I was looking for were "skirting board".)
These plastic human storage containers must be scarily flammable. The wooden framework components would also burn readily. I would imagine the heat radiating from a domestic house fire could easily melt the neighbours. How far away is the nearest fire station?
I notice there are a lot of air conditioning units on the floor plan.
Every room as an AC unit. That can't be cheap. I think it would be more efficient if they had a forced air central AC system with zone controls.
