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.

Black Miller House / Three Sixty Architecture

11.04

Black Miller 住宅被设想为一组植根于 32 公顷沿海丘陵景观中的现代展馆式建筑群。设计在保留大部分既有住宅的基础上，引入了新的生活与起居翼，打造出一个轻松惬意、顺应气候的隐逸之所，使其既显得脚踏实地，又向着开阔的远景敞开。该项目并未直接取代原有的建筑，而是采取了选择性拆除、保留与扩建的策略，在尊重其历史存在的同时，实现了建筑的有机演变。
