Sculpted In Concrete — A Column Free 55 Mat Living Room In Meguro

Property Highlights:

Designed by architect Hirotaka Kidosaki of Kidosaki Architects Studio, this reinforced-concrete residence in Meguro’s Yakumo district presents a sculptural, board-formed concrete facade — cantilevered volumes and full-height glazing set behind a private motor court, announcing the architectural intent of the house before the front door is reached.

The site spans 198.35 sqm, with a total floor area of 301.08 sqm across two storeys and a basement, completed November 2022. At the heart of the plan is a column-free living and dining room of 55 tatami mats — a volume of open space rare in central Tokyo residential architecture, made possible only through considered structural engineering. Four bedrooms and two study rooms are arranged around this central space, alongside a two-car built-in garage sized for large vehicles. A light court draws daylight and greenery directly into the lower level, while interior finishes favour natural materials throughout — stone, natural paint finishes, and unvarnished solid wood. Lighting fixtures are by ModuleX, with Belgian smart switches by BASALTE, and the kitchen is equipped with CUCINA and GAGGENAU appliances.

301.08 sqm total floor area. 198.35 sqm of freehold land. 4 bedrooms plus 2 studies. Completed November 2022. ¥800,000,000.

The Neighbourhood:

Yakumo sits within one of Meguro’s quieter residential pockets, close to Komazawa Olympic Park and the leafy streets that surround it — a setting defined by established low-rise housing and mature trees rather than commercial density. The area falls within a Category 1 exclusively low-rise residential zone, with additional protections under the Jiyu-dori Yakumo District Plan and a Category 1 educational district designation, keeping the surrounding streetscape consistent over the long term.

Toritsu-Daigaku Station, on the Tokyu Toyoko Line, is approximately 15 minutes on foot. Komazawa-Daigaku Station, on the Tokyu Den-en-toshi Line, is approximately 18 minutes — placing the property within a quiet residential enclave while remaining connected to two of Tokyo’s established commuter lines.
