NEVER TOO SMALL

Best of Japanese Small Space Design

Subscribe to the NTS Magazine before 1st July for your chance to win one of six $200 Beyond The Vines gift cards https://www.nevertoosmall.com/utm/beyond-the-vines Japan’s small homes have long been a source of inspiration, shaped by compact urban sites, changing lifestyles, and a culture of thoughtful design. In this special compilation, we revisit six of our favourite Japanese homes under 60sqm/646sqft. From a plant-filled rental apartment brought to life with DIY ingenuity and upcycled furniture to a tiny house in Tokyo that transforms a 26sqm site into a light-filled family home. Explore an architect's apartment organised around a series of multifunctional boxes, a split-level concrete home stacked across seven interconnected floors, and a compact Osaka house where curtains, climbing walls, and carefully selected furniture create flexible spaces for a family of four. Across each project, clever storage, adaptable layouts, and a deep consideration for everyday life allow these homes to feel remarkably generous despite their size.
