THE LAYER | ITŌ
Our beautifully designed mid-century traditional Japanese home has been deeply cared for since it was built by highly skilled craftsmen in 1968.
Our loving and detailed renovation accentuates the gorgeous original features, while adding layers of modern design details, fun, and premium comfort.
With a large Towada stone and hinoki-lined bath, welcoming entrance, sunny engawa, cozy dining room, relaxing tatami rooms, gorgeous kitchen, and a karaoke room with a nod to Ito's showa-era "snack bar” (スナックバー) culture, the house has thoughtful design details in every corner.
