Staircase is a social space in Tokyo house by Kiri Architects

A large stairwell takes up a third of the living space in Light-Filled Stair Hall, a compact family home designed by Tokyo-based Kiri Architects.
The 79-square-metre house, which is shortlisted in the Urban House category of Dezeen Awards 2022, provides a home for a family of four in Nishitōkyō – an area to the west of Tokyo's city centre.
