Tucked away in the Japanese countryside, the Ritto house is a wonder to behold.
From the outside it looks small and unassuming, dwarfed by the surrounding fields, mountains, and dense thickets of trees. The subtle facade was a conscious decision on the part of the architects at Alts Design, who wanted to build a home that blended, not jarred, with the landscape.
This countryside home barely looks big enough to house two people. Step inside, however, and see just how misleading that simple exterior really is… .
Wait, what?! How is this the same tiny home that we saw from the outside? Once you step through the doors of Ritto house, the space opens up and just keeps on unfolding – it feels like there are no limits, like it could go on forever.
Cleverly designed to allow as much light as possible to flood the house, this open plan living space uses a wall of ceiling-height windows, light wood, and pure white to create a dreamy space of heavenly calm. Sturdy shoji doors allow the Tatami room to be closed off when not in use, and further sliders provide access to the other, more private parts of the home. Mmm, we can practically smell that raw timber…
The perfect fusion of Eastern and Western style, this smaller salon draws inspiration from Scandinavian design and modern Japanese trends. Retro furniture shapes and pendant lamps add a touch of kitsch to this otherwise modern setting.
Light was the main priority for the architects during the design process, and they definitely succeeded – the clever window placement allows the sunlight to filter through the room and highlight particular areas, casting soft spotlight shapes on the walls. Who needs prints when the sun can decorate your walls?
From this angle, we can see the gorgeously serene tatami room that dominates one side of the house. The pistachio green tatami mat reflects the light, creating a barely-there mint green hue on the otherwise white walls in certain light.
The calmness and poise of this house is truly amazing. Despite a lack of symmetry – see the slanted wooden ceiling, mismatched furniture layout and lone shoji door – this open plan room appears perfectly composed and balanced.
Finally, let's take a closer look at that cute-as-a-button dining area. Framed by a wooden kitchen counter and breakfast bar, the small table perfectly complements the timber that is prevalent throughout the rest of the home.
The same shade of pistachio that we saw in the tatami room has been used to upholster the simple chairs. Decoration has been kept minimal – an on-trend pendant lamp, chic vase, and spindly bird statuette are all that's needed to adorn this quietly cool home.
