The <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/tag\/residential-architecture-interiors\/\">residence<\/a><\/strong> balances individual creative spaces with shared areas, creating a domestic environment that accommodates both private work and family life.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The house is composed of four interconnected volumes, each defined by distinct <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/tag\/rooftop-architecture-and-design\/\">roof<\/a><\/strong> forms. Together, they create a small village-like configuration, linked by gardens, terraces, and passageways. This arrangement establishes a network of outdoor and semi-outdoor spaces that encourage both separation and encounter, recalling the atmosphere of alleys and courtyards.<\/p>\n<p>all images by Yamamori<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wow wow-yellow\">Individual creative spaces are balanced with shared living areas<\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Each family member is provided with a dedicated wing: one for scriptwriting, one for illustration, and one for musical practice. A shared living room anchors the plan, serving as the central space for gathering. The <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hosakatakeshi.com\/\">architectural team<\/a><\/strong> at Takeshi Hosaka organizes the spatial layout in a way that allows simultaneous activity across the household while maintaining visual and spatial connections through the open courtyards and terraces.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The project\u2019s name derives from the Japanese words kaku, \u66f8\u304f, (to write), kaku, \u63cf\u304f, (to draw), and kanadel, \u594f\u3067\u308b, (to play music), reflecting the creative practices that define the household. The architecture translates these three modes of making into spatial form, where roofs express individuality while the arrangement of buildings and paths creates a collective identity.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Kaku-Kaku Kanadel is a courtyard house in Tokyo designed by Takeshi Hosaka<\/p>\n<p>the residence is conceived for a family of three practicing artists<\/p>\n<p>distinct roof forms give each volume its own identity<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>the arrangement recalls the character of village-like clusters<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>gardens, terraces, and passageways link the separate wings<\/p>\n<p>outdoor and semi-outdoor spaces encourage movement and encounter<\/p>\n<p>the house establishes a rhythm of separation and connection<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>the design allows simultaneous activity in different wings<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>a shared living room anchors the floor plan<\/p>\n<p>one wing accommodates illustration work<\/p>\n<p>one wing is dedicated to scriptwriting<\/p>\n<p>one wing is designed for musical practice<\/p>\n<p>courtyards create visual and spatial continuity across the house<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>project info:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>name:<\/strong>\u00a0Kaku\u208bKaku Kanadel<\/p>\n<p><strong>architect:<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hosakatakeshi.com\/\">Takeshi Hosaka \/ Takeshi Hosaka Architects<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/takeshi_hosaka_official\/\">@takeshi_hosaka_official<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>location:<\/strong> Tokyo, Japan<\/p>\n<p><strong>area:<\/strong> 83.2 sqm<\/p>\n<p><strong>structure:<\/strong> Nawakenji-M Kenji Nawa<\/p>\n<p><strong>photographer:<\/strong> Yamamori<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>designboom has received this project from our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/readers-submit\">DIY submissions<\/a>\u00a0feature, where we welcome our readers to submit their own work for publication. see more project submissions from our readers\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/readers\/\">here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>edited by: christina vergopoulou | designboom<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/architecture\/four-interconnected-volumes-courtyard-house-family-artists-tokyo-takeshi-hosaka-kaku-kaku-kanadel-09-11-2025\/\">four interconnected volumes enclose courtyard house for family of artists in tokyo by takeshi hosaka<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/\">designboom | architecture &amp; design magazine<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Takeshi Hosaka designs Kaku\u208bKaku Kanadel courtyard house \u00a0 Kaku-Kaku Kanadel, designed by Takeshi Hosaka, is a courtyard house in Tokyo, Japan, conceived for a family of three who are also practicing artists.
