Numa faixa de terreno com menos de cinco metros de largura, em Tóquio, nasceu uma casa peculiar para um artista de mangá. A arquitectura é de Tan Yamanouchi & AWGL.

The clients are an up-and-coming manga artist, her partner, and two owls who are the new additions to the family. The manga artist made three requests: First, the house should accommodate the entire process of the artist’s work, from creative concept to completion, meetings, and giving media interviews. Second, the house should be compact and should not open to the outdoors too much. Lastly and most importantly, the house should spark inspiration for creativity.
