The house is simple and has a stylish design, with minimal architectural details. It’s a two-storey residence sitting on a narrow street in crowded Kyoto. It was built for a family of four and their two family cats. On the first floor of the house there’s a common living area in the form of a Japanese-style room, a bathroom, a dining room and kitchen, a walk-in closet as well as a catwalk for the family’s two furry friends.

The first floor is connected to the second floor by an L-shaped staircase. There you can find the private areas of the house, like the two bedrooms, the bathroom, a walk-in closet, a living room and a terrace. The main façade of the house has windows shaped like a key, which is yet another reason to call this place the Keyhole house. It’s a beautiful residence with a playful contemporary design and it would make a perfect family home.
