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.

— Mio Tachibana, Tokyo

这家位于科希策（Košice）的餐厅坐落在历史城区的一栋角部建筑内，此前这里曾是一家服装店和一家家具店。餐厅由一对父子共同经营。父亲带来了丰富的个人经验、深厚的家族传统情怀，以及将多元烹饪文化融入这一概念的开放态度；儿子则注入了现代美食理念，对年轻受众的敏锐理解，以及都市场所特有的活力——这里不仅是进餐之所，更是全天候的社交空间。
