This is one modern unique house involved renovating an old wooden house on the Shibuya River in Tokyo’s Ebisu into a live work space. This unique house offers some strange and wonderful features an inner courtyard, an oddly long hallway, a tiny room from a series of earlier renovations, so nendo decided to build on these features to acclimate the space to the new owner’s lifestyle. The hallway became a study, and the small Japanese-style room a studio. This Moss House renovation was completed by architecture and product design group Nendo Studio.

Veins of moss pattern the riverbank outside the windows, so we used similar veins of dry moss on the interior walls to subtly connect existing spaces with newly-renovated ones, and the house’s interior environment to its exterior one. Most wallpaper imitates nature through a two-dimensional representation of it, and cladding the walls entirely in moss would simply have been too much.
