Home to ceramicist Ryo Kaneko, this compact rental apartment in a quiet Tokyo neighbourhood reflects Kaneko’s love of pottery, sewing and furniture-making — with nearly every piece in the apartment designed and built by him. Using one consistent timber throughout, he creates a sense of unity across custom shelving, storage walls, furniture and display pieces. In the entrance hidden storage is built into a shoe bench and a former coat closet now holds long tools and DIY equipment. Custom furniture responds directly to his needs: a floating sofa rebuilt from an old shelf, a compact workspace shaped through trial and error, and a bookshelf inspired by Donald Judd. In the kitchen, curtains replace doors and S-hooks keep everyday tools within easy reach, while in the bedroom, the removal of old sliding doors allows light to flow freely through the apartment, creating one continuous room. The apartment works as a living space, workshop and gallery all at once.

00:05I can't fit the room, but I can't fit the room.
00:09I don't think I can fit the room.
00:14I don't think I can fit the room.
00:18I think the DIY is a Lego block.
00:21I think it's a Lego block.
00:22like a horizontal line,
00:25I can just connect this way.
00:31I've made all the apartments in the middle.
00:35It's not so easy to create.
00:39Hi, Miao, I'm here.
00:41I'm in Tokyo.
00:45I studied fashion,
00:48so I made a machine.
00:49I like DIY, so I can put a drill on my own.

01:09So, when I was in the room, I wanted to show a product in the room, and I wanted to
01:18show the atmosphere.
01:19So, I got a lot of interest in the interior.
01:23I wanted to make a picture of my living in the room.

07:04but it was not necessary to cut it off,
07:08so I made it to the sofa.

15:27I like to buy a cat.
15:31I like to buy a cat.
15:38I like to buy a cat.
15:39I like to buy a cat.
15:40I like to buy a cat.
15:41What do you think about this?
15:45This is the building in a space.
15:48What are you doing?
15:48This is the building that I created.
15:48This is a wall that I created, but I created a wall for the展示.
15:52This is all I created.
15:55There are candles and candles.
15:58You can put a flower in there.
16:01You can also put a soap in there.
16:05You can put it in a piece of paper.
16:10You can put it in different colors.
16:13I have a ritual before you do it.
16:16I always say this before I sleep,
16:25and I always say thank you, thank you, thank you.
16:30I always say thank you for everything,
16:33and I always say thank you for everything.
16:41This is a paper from the back of the back of the back of the back of the back of
16:47the back.

16:52so I also use it in the bedroom.
17:00There's a storage room inside.
17:02I'm going to open my door.
17:06I'm going to open my door.

17:22This is my favorite
17:25The cabin attendant is carrying a box
17:29There is a lot of space
17:33There are lots of things in here
17:39It's a lot of space
17:42It's a lot of space

18:11You can't get it
18:12I like to go to the bathroom
18:17These are lots of rooms
18:22The size is quite compact, but if you think about the shower, it doesn't take a lot of water, so
18:31the room is wide, so I don't like this simple.
18:35Also, I don't like the窓.
18:38There's an air conditioner, so you can wash it or wash it or wash it.
18:45So, if you wear a shower, you can wash it.
18:52What do you think about the difference between the dirty and dirty?
18:55The difference between the dirty and dirty is a choice.
19:00For example, most of the houses are made, and there's only one rule, and the same rule is to use
19:09the same material.
19:11So, if you have different things, the base of the colors are all the same.
19:16Because of that, there are a lot of things, but I think it's a good thing.
19:23If it's bigger, it's hard to spend.
19:28If it's bigger, it's hard to spend.
19:30I think it's a good size, so I really like it.
19:35If it's a long time, it's more than a room.
19:35I think it's more than a room.
19:37I like it.
19:39Because it's a long time, I think it's more than a room.
