Spaciousness and intimacy coexist in this residence by Baqueratta Architectural, a Tokyo-based architecture studio. Spanning approximately 1,600 square metres and four levels, the home reflects an emerging dimension of contemporary living in Japan, where increasingly generous proportions are redefining how people inhabit, experience and share space. An evolution that finds a natural counterpart in the Minotti design language, through compositions that strike a considered balance with the home’s generous volumes.
Behind a rigorously defined facade, the residence gradually reveals an open, light-filled architecture, where the spaces unfold in a sequence of perspectives and transparencies. The entrance sets the tone for the interiors, where two Lido armchairs by GamFratesi, defined by their inviting silhouettes and geometric upholstery, are paired with the clean lines of the Superquadra bench by Marcio Kogan / Studio MK27.
The large double-height living area is defined by its dramatic proportions and the natural light that streams through the floor-to-ceiling glazing. A composition of Roger seating by Rodolfo Dordoni, complemented by Nendo’s Torii armchairs, creates inviting islands of comfort and conviviality, bringing the monumental scale of the architecture into a more intimate, domestic realm.
The dining area continues the narrative in a space overlooking greenery and water, where the material presence of the architecture is balanced by the refinement of the furnishing pieces. In the centre, the sculptural Linha table by Marcio Kogan / Studio MK27 sits alongside the Mills dining little armchairs by Rodolfo Dordoni.
Beyond the extensive glazed surfaces, the living spaces flow seamlessly outdoors. The outdoor dining area, furnished with the Drake Dining Outdoor table by Hannes Peer and the Yoko Cord Outdoor dining little armchairs by Inoda+Sveje, is adjacent to a relaxation area where Rodolfo Dordoni’s Sunray seating system is joined by the Daiki Outdoor armchairs by Marcio Kogan / Studio MK27. The Minotti outdoor collections thus express the seamless connection between interior and exterior, taking the same sense of comfort and sophistication that defines the residence’s interiors and moving it outside.
The project offers an unexpected perspective on contemporary living in Japan, where a traditional sensitivity to nature, materials and balance meets a newfound generosity of scale. A residential setting in which the Minotti design language shapes the spaces, balancing presence and lightness, conviviality and intimacy.
