# Small-Space Architecture The Angular and Super-Compact '63.02 House' in Japan By Tinkalicious | Published 2009-01-04 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/angled-compact-6302-house-using-tight-spaces-effectively References: [trendir](http://www.trendir.com/house-design/small-home-design-in-tokyo-angular-house-by-schemata-architecture.html#more) & [sschemata](http://www.sschemata.com/english/works/archives/01architecture/9680326302/) The '63.02 House' is another [small home design in Japan](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nano-micro-house). The descriptive name of the project, which describes the angle of the dwelling in relation to the street, is located in Nakana, Tokyo. The angular house by [Schemata Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/k-residence-1) is a minimalist, modern home and is only 71.4 square meters in total living space. While claustrophobia could easily result with such confines of space, the use of floor-to-ceiling windows and sparse interior elements make the best of its [compact configuration](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stealth-house). The structure, which resembles something like a bookend--or, from one elevation, the back of a huge television--may be short on space, but it is an incredible use of a tiny lot. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.6/10 - Popularity: 81% | Activity: 80% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Small-space Architecture:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation lies in designing new techniques and materials for maximizing living space in compact environments. - **Minimalist Design:** The trend towards minimalist design provides an opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating functional and aesthetically pleasing interiors with limited space. - **Floor-to-ceiling Windows:** The use of floor-to-ceiling windows in small-space architecture opens up opportunities for disruptive innovation in creating illusions of spaciousness and integrating nature into limited living spaces. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Architecture:** The architecture industry can benefit from disruptive innovation in designing compact and efficient spaces that optimize living conditions. - **Interior Design:** Opportunities for disruptive innovation in interior design arise in creating innovative storage solutions and optimizing functionality in small living spaces. - **Construction:** The construction industry can explore disruptive innovation in developing prefabrication and modular construction techniques to efficiently build small-space architectures. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Japan-Inspired Tiny Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mizuho.md) - [Compact Japanese Moden Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nozawa.md) - [Compact Corner Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modus-architect.md) - [Compact Residential Additions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/henville-street-house.md) - [Reinvented Compact Living](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/affordable-housing-prototype.md) - [Void-Cut Elevated Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kumagaya.md) - [Low Footprint Compact Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nano-micro-house.md) - [Reimagined Slim Living Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/slim-fit.md) - [Compact Calming Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-sheltered-space.md)
