The T-house, also known as the Ninja house, has almost no interior walls and floors, only a few wooden steps between the rooms.

The T-house is located between two other semi-detached houses in Tokyo. From the outside it looks like an ordinary house. But inside were holes in the walls and floor. On the first floor are the office and living room. The wooden steps are both a bookcase and a staircase leading to the second floor, but to climb it is necessary to jump. The movement between the 2 rooms by wooden stairs. The second floor is divided into 4 different rooms. Vines are planted on the higher floors, benches, tables and carpets are placed in a way that fits the moderate space of each floor. “This home is very flexible so occupants can change the layout to suit their lifestyle.” Designer Hiroyuki Shinozaki shared. “Although this house is only about 70 square meters, the design with the reduction of some walls makes it seem to expand and bring a new living space,” added Shinozaki. Stairs lead to other floors with rooms such as the kitchen, bedroom, dining room and second living space. With an airy design, hanging lights and natural light illuminate the house On the top floor there is a loft and storage space. The last steps of the house lead to the roof terrace. In 2013, a couple who ordered the house said they named the house Ninja House because they need to be as nimble as a Ninja to be able to move from room to room. “We see that our figure is getting better.” Hanae Terado – who lives in this house shared. “We also never fell.”
