HOUSE-03 is the third site in our ongoing series (HOUSE-01–05). Since moving to Tokyo in 2016 amid the rise in vacant homes, we've lived in previously vacant houses, using our presence, care, and incremental repairs to revive them. Built in 1948 and vacant for 15 years, HOUSE-03 became our home and, from 2019, a monthly open studio and project space. Over seven years, a private ground-floor area became a semi-public room through invitations and rituals, fostering community within domestic space.
