About

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.

如何将阁楼改造成实用居住空间

October 15

屋顶下方的空间通常是如何被利用的？在许多住宅中，答案很简单：它变成了阁楼、储藏室，或者是顶层与屋顶之间一个基本闲置的空间。然而，如果将屋顶与下方的房间作为一个整体来考虑，这个空间完全可以转化为卧室、家庭办公室、游戏室或额外的起居区域。
