A room is a decision about how you want to be tired at the end of the day.

I live in forty-eight square metres in Tokyo with one good chair and far too many bowls, so I have had to mean that. I trained as an architect and left to write, which my teachers took badly. Uchi (内) means inside, and it means home: the room you come back to. The palette comes after the tiredness. So does the name on the lamp.

This is where I keep what the world's rooms are doing. Around seventy sources, read in Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Vietnamese, Italian, French and English: an apartment in Seoul, a house outside Taipei, a Copenhagen showroom seen from here rather than from Denmark. East first, because east is where I am sitting.

Each story is a headline, an excerpt of a few lines, one photograph and a link to whoever did the work. We never reprint the piece, and the photograph belongs to the person who took it. When a room was written up in Korean or Italian it stays in Korean or Italian here; the link takes you to the writer's own words.

I am not trying to be complete. I am trying to notice.

维涅杜住宅 / Apiacás Arquitetos

10.30

该项目场地平坦且面积宽敞，设计目标是一栋最大建筑面积为250平方米的住宅。这促使我们对其进行合理布局，以最大程度地探索室内遮蔽空间与室外区域之间的交界界面。最终的平面布局延续了事务所此前在其他住宅项目中积累的经验，即房间之间的动线被设计为有顶盖但两侧开敞的长廊 ——没有窗框，也没有墙体阻隔——以此延伸室内外的居住体验。
