The Grace House in Tokyo is designed to accommodate the growing need to work from home. The pandemic changed many of our lifestyles by introducing flexible work hours and locations, seeing as most offices were closed to their employees. Designed by APOLLO Architects & Associates, the Grace House boasts a minimalist design that frames its riverside views.
The wooden structure features expansive floor-to-ceiling glazings, a gabled roof, and an airy atmosphere. It focuses on allowing abundant natural light to enter the space to blend the indoors and outdoors into one harmonious space. Wood and glass materials are used throughout the home to create a calming contrast. To cater to a work-from-home lifestyle, the walls are built with functional features to streamline work and leisure elements into one coherent design.
