Casa OY by 1-1 Architects: 80 m² House Completed in Anjo, Aichi

In 2024, the Japanese firm 1-1 Architects completed Casa OY, an 80 m² single-family house in Anjo, Aichi Prefecture. The project was led by principal architect Yuki Kamiya, with design team members Yui Goto and Kazuya Shibata. Photographs were taken by Takashi Uemura, and the project was curated by Miwa Negoro. The house occupies a plot within an urbanization control zone. The client obtained the land through the conversion of agricultural land under a provision for branch families, which resulted in an unusually large lot for a single dwelling. The surrounding area is characterized by scattered fields, plastic greenhouses, and small work sheds. This produces a landscape of repetitive, finely scaled buildings that contrasts with the uniformity of the city. The project falls under the category of houses and was submitted by the design team.
