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.

双拼住宅 / Khuon Studio

October 7

这个独特的项目源于一位极具个性的业主，他向 Khuôn Studio 提出了一个令人兴奋的设计诉求。业主设想建造一栋能容纳两个家庭共同居住的房子，同时又要确保各自的独立性与隐私。他希望整个家都采用灰色水泥漆面，并以自己多年来精心收集的繁茂热带植物作为点缀。至于这栋热带住宅的其他精神内核，则完全托付给 Khuôn Studio 进行创意诠释与建筑转化。
