“We would love to have quiet and a cozy feeling in our new home, fusing an international design sense with Japan’s unique aesthetic.”

The homeowner adores a quiet, simple, natural, and unsophisticated atmosphere. Accordingly, Men Bureau used a substantial amount of warm-colored wood and plaster, satisfying the homeowner’s needs in a space consisting of 1 bedroom, living room, home office, kitchen, and two bathrooms. The designers used a big number of circles and arcs to evoke a sense of smoothness; and added rounded corners to various areas of the internal space for visual comfort.

The materials selected reflect the client’s natural and minimalist preferences and need for longevity, durability, and practical use.

This residence was made to last, with a very straightforward, authentic,and casual look.



Library

Another signature place – the home library – frames the outlook for a quiet place to unplug and read.

The home also features a collection of custom pieces Men Bureau designed for the project. This wall ceiling-mounted bookshelf is made without screws or bolts. Instead, the designs are assembled out of wooden poles and marble planes that simply slot together. The designers decided to use the same materials throughout the house to ensure that the picture is complete.

The minimalist design continues with Muse Sofa with a side table at one end by Benchmark for cozy and relaxed lounging. Ginger light by Marset has a clean line and fits perfectly into this space.

Home Office
Isolated way of life as a new social behavior has become guarantors of safeness for everyone around us. That’s why the home office is a technically equipped space with large windows and comfortable furniture. Thanks to the iconic Roy Tavolo table lamp by Viabizzuno, the spaces are beautifully illuminated without ‘intruding’ in a room.
Wood Riva table by Kettal and Woody Endless Straight light by Roll&Hill brings a simple and elegant perspective to wooden furniture through its modern form language with understated details for a long-lasting expression.



Bathroom
Distinct from the muted hues in the shared spaces, the bathroom becomes a unique zone, clad in grey terrazzo. Rather than jarring with the refined material backdrop, these textures demonstrate the personality and lifestyle of the residents. PB bath and large bespoke marble sink are the only elements made of another material and provide an accent. Freestanding bathtub and mixers designed by Piet Boon for COCOON.
