Terada Hirate Sekkei has created a home for a family of five in Tokyo that embodies the optimistic spirit of the 1950s and 1960s.

The project is a black building nestled above a concrete platform in a quiet residential area of the capital.

The interior pays homage to the vibrant colours of this era and adopts products and furniture with space-age curves and bright tones. The private residence features a 6.8m high ceiling, a diagonal wall with a yellow sliding door and an illuminated black staircase.

Terada House aims to bring happiness to residents and guests and looks to the futuristic past, giving new hope for tomorrow.

This project has been longlisted in the housing project category of Dezeen Awards 2022.
