Nice to meet you today How old is your child now Two years old Oh two years old huh Your child's outfit today is really cute too When did you move into this house We moved in about a month ago Oh I see So it's really a brand-new shiny house that you've just moved into then Yes I'd like to take a look at the exterior though This grayish yellowish siding is truly beautiful Thank you You used the same material throughout didn't you That's right It just happened that we decided to build that house at that time Ikeomu Store is running a campaign and since they said the entire Nitchuha Illumination would be available during this period I decided to go for it without hesitation—yes Sometimes people only change the color on the front side but using the same material all over creates a cohesive beautiful look—thank you The part you can just see right above here is Is the back part a terrace Yes that's right It's designed as a terrace From outside I thought the black railing section really stands out as a striking accent and looks great Thank you And regarding the entrance approach I thought it looked really impressive —tiles extend from the front stones are placed along the way leading all the way to the back We did this ourselves Oh really Can you do this yourself Because my dad and I are stone masons I see So I managed to do it successfully on my own When did you finish it It was completed the day before yesterday The day before yesterday So it's brand new Fresh off the press so to speak That's the approach isn't it Yes Though various types of stone materials are used I thought it was absolutely lovely Then let's go see inside the house right away Please Alright let's go together Show me your home I'm counting on you There's a door even deeper inside isn't there That's right I'll explain it further later Yes Excuse me for interrupting We'll have the lady guide you from the entrance thank you very much The entrance has a very simple design and they've used beige for the wallpaper And you kindly arranged the flowers at the entrance thank you so much—they arrived yesterday so they just arrived yesterday how are they They 're adorable and I really love the color tones These flowers would look lovely here don't you think Thank you And here the space on the side is quite wide so I'll go take a look The shoe closet and then there's space for your child's stroller and toys neatly stored away with plenty of room on the side making it easy to use It holds quite a lot This is the door right Can I open it Yes you can You can wash your hands here The entire space connects seamlessly to this area The family has already returned home so you can wash your hands here—may I come in now I won’t be in the way It's bright isn't it The first floor is an open-plan living dining and kitchen area with a hallway and staircase and this is the stylish living room right Thank you so much The furniture is very cohesive and well-matched as well I absolutely love this raised ceiling I saw it on Instagram and immediately wanted to try it out—it complements the floor color perfectly with its natural wood grain The indirect lighting throughout really makes this space feel so much more beautiful thank you so much I also noticed this floor has a color tone I’ve rarely seen elsewhere We went with a light-colored solid wood floor since the children are still young the natural texture of the solid wood feels incredibly warm and comforting Walking barefoot is wonderfully comfortable and enjoyable and the furniture is incredibly stylish—I could tell each piece was carefully selected with great attention to detail This chair is lovely as well The back display shelf is also very stylish isn't it Thank you Is this a shared hobby of the couple They picked it out together and my husband really likes it—he used to do relia as well That makes sense I really felt the space was full of your personal touches How do you two spend your time here as a family After eating dinner we all gather in the living room to watch TV together making it a cozy retreat and that's where we'd like to head next It was visible from the living room too there's a terrace attached here yes just now from outside we caught a glimpse of this section of the wall I was surprised to find it was this tall—setting up a privacy screen at two meters high so it 's hidden from view on the road Since it's right by the road having two meters of space means you can truly enjoy a private secure environment—plus I didn’t want curtains so that worked out perfectly Designed so you can enjoy both daytime and nighttime without closing the curtains—ah I see that’s how the natural light is secured And inside this room having this terrace makes all the difference It gets really bright because the sunlight comes in so well doesn't it How does your child usually spend time here on a regular basis It's been getting cooler lately so I've been blowing soap bubbles and hosting barbecues with friends You can do all sorts of things without worrying about what others think This is the dining area right I love how all the chairs are different colors—it's so cute Why did you choose to use a round table for seating I like that the round table is easy to get up from even with a child sitting next to me and it works well with our family's lifestyle You can always find a seat by adding more chairs if the number of people increases The space beneath the stairs is really well thought out isn't it It's built for storage Since I didn't want toys visible in plain sight I kept them out of view We've designed the storage space here to fit everything neatly inside Does your child often play in here Yes they're always playing here It must be such a cozy inviting space to enjoy and since this side is the kitchen area the entire wall is built with storage which gives us so much room to organize—truly a lifesaver Is it okay if I come take a look Amazing It's so neatly organized The labels clearly indicate what's needed They're handwritten I was thinking there isn't much storage in this living-dining-kitchen area but that's where they've put in some clever touches Yes I think the storage is actually plenty sufficient This side is the kitchen I thought this color tone looked really cool—combined what we saw on Instagram with our personal taste added a modern touch and went with gray and wood grain This countertop sparkles too doesn't it This is from Treasure Kitchen We chose this countertop because it's sturdy cute and stylish While many homes feature pendant lights on this side as well It's sharp and stylish isn't it Thank you so much I was torn between making it a pendant or not but after visiting a furniture store I fell in love with this one at first sight and bought it The back side is a cupboard The grain is quite prominent yet it still gives off a soft gentle vibe throughout making this spot especially lovely with a color tone I absolutely love It pairs well with gray and feels really nice so I think it's great Since this side can rotate let's try going through it a bit It's convenient that you can avoid obstacles like this There's a counter set up in one corner here where my husband can use the computer or when our child starts elementary school it'll serve as a space for doing homework Since I wanted a dining table separately I did that As I moved forward over here there's the shoe closet I saw earlier at the entrance Your return route is this way right That's right The family gathers over here We take off our shoes and immediately wash our hands So we can head straight to the kitchen Having two power outlets seems really convenient This is the vanity area but were there any particular details you paid special attention to The part I focused on was the hairdryer cord is exceptionally long so I wanted to hide this huh oh this shelf it's interesting I had it made casually that's right I said I wanted to do this and the carpentry shop said they could do it It's an idea unlike anything we've had before but honestly code does tend to pile up no matter what so it's really tempting to try it out Thank you Shall we go ahead with this approach then Yes of course There's a door over here but let 's enter through this one first The bathroom and changing area the laundry corner and extending all the way over here with storage space right here yes this closet has three sides It looks very convenient doesn't it Yes both my husband and I love clothes so we added plenty of hanging space Your child's clothes are hung here too After washing clothes the short distance to the silicone drying rack makes it super convenient with a very smooth workflow—just hang them up right after drying bringing them in here to put on the rack This looks like it could be used efficiently Then let's move forward I've been curious about this door here May I open it Suddenly a shop appeared out of nowhere but this is a beauty salon right Yes that's correct Since I'm a hairstylist I set up this salon so I can work from home It's impressively professional I wanted to set up a salon like this at home so family and friends could get haircuts too When you think of a beauty salon this counter plus a place to wash your hair seems necessary don't you think Inside is a shampoo basin that extends out from here allowing you to shampoo without moving your position There's also a recommended built-in salon but this one has a clean sleek design that works well in the showroom space and since it's a salon it's designed to fit right in Are there any areas where you've changed the design from the original plan I adjusted the wallpaper to a slightly more subdued tone making it match my personal preference—though it is a bit darker isn't it Also the flooring is different from the other rooms isn't it Yes we chose a slightly darker shade to make shed hair less noticeable and a durable material that resists water and scratches We opted for this flooring material because floors like this tend to get dirty easily so having this kind of specification gives peace of mind And as you move further along there' s another entrance here which serves as the main entrance The door that was visible when I came in from outside was this one wasn't it Yes we've set it up so guests and friends can enter from here It's interesting that there are two entrances Now let's return to the room area and I'll show you the second floor—this is the staircase leading up to the second floor which feels light and airy because it's on the south side with windows installed to let in plenty of natural light Because the open-plan space extends up to the second floor this staircase feels wonderfully spacious We wanted to create a sense of openness so this is where the second floor begins First there's a room right here This is the children's room with two spaces— now both used as adult training rooms one here and another in the other room Is this the bedroom Yes it is This is the bedroom then The wallpaper behind this bed uses a dry finish which I thought looked nice I liked the calming tone so I went with green It's a wonderful color indeed Since beige wallpaper was prevalent in the house most switches were also white but here they've opted for gray—this is by Aiconten Following the salesperson's advice I was told to change the outlet's color to match the cross— it blends in beautifully and looks wonderful And behind this There's also a closet here so you really do love clothes lots of them but with so many already we still come here to buy more of our clothes I'm really grateful for this There's still some extra space so I can feel at ease knowing we'll have room even as our belongings grow over time Now that we've looked at the first and second floors Please let me explain the details to you in more depth below Thank you so much for today Thank you In this living room where your personal touches are most evident we'll conduct the interview First I'd like to ask Why did you decide to build a custom home Primarily because we wanted a house that truly reflects who we are and since my wife is a hairstylist she really wanted a salon space at home above all else When it comes to ready-built homes there are surely many things that are hard to achieve which is precisely why people are drawn to the freedom of custom design Why did you choose Aikokumatsu among them We compared about four companies but in the end it was definitely Aikokumatsu's sales representative who made the difference They did an amazing job suggesting things or rather since we ourselves had vaguely started planning our home from the beginning we hadn't yet clearly decided what kind of house we actually wanted to build What kind of house would the other salespeople like There are quite a few abstract questions making it hard to come up with answers But only Mr Aikou's sales representative truly understood that what sets us apart is exactly this kind of service — and that was really great Initially it was quite vague but going over the details helped us realize the distinctive qualities of Aiko Muzen making it easier to grasp than we expected—surprisingly we found it easier to form a clear image ourselves As we continued discussing what was your impression of Aikokumotou It felt like they truly fulfilled our requests and desires It was so much fun brainstorming together Madori's freedom was truly incredible fine-tuning wanting to make this space just so or wanting to build a hospital yet also wanting the LDK to be spacious I was given everything I asked for and yet this home feels like it's already fulfilled every wish— everything was packed in here Though I've only just started living here it already feels like home Is there a place you've grown especially fond of How about you sir I like the living room too but I really love this outdoor terrace area During summer you can freely use the pool and other facilities without worrying about onlookers and since we raised the combined height the curtains can stay open all day This is my favorite spot— depending on the time of day such beautiful light streams in Where is your favorite place madam I still really love the kitchen — I like the color scheme how easy it is to access and especially the ample storage space Since the couple are often in the kitchen we'll place both of them nearby and above all having a beauty salon right at home really struck me as a wonderful idea Were there any particular specifications you especially focused on We had to pack everything into a limited space so we couldn't place the chair and shampoo basin separately no matter what Making it all work in one unit wasn't that compact and clever So that one had water flowing inside right Yes exactly The water line was integrated with the icon design by Aicontan The chair manufacturer consulted with us and worked out the details carefully deciding on every aspect with the distinctive flexibility only custom design allows which is precisely what makes this project unique I'm really glad the floral designer took such thoughtful responsibility for this project and since we wanted something that perfectly complements this home we've prepared these lovely arrangements—so cute thank you What do you think It fits the home's atmosphere perfectly and I love the color—great choice after all since it's a traditional Japanese-modern space so we kept the tones subdued and paired this beige wallpaper with the right shade I went with a soft beige tone—it pairs wonderfully with the furniture and I absolutely love it Thank you so much You kindly placed it by the entrance earlier so please enjoy it in various spots around your home Thank you again Lastly if you have any advice or message for those embarking on building their dream home please share it Kusama: Yes take action when you truly feel you want to Surprisingly it's probably more important to act on that spontaneous urge to buy a bag or settle down in a house than to overthink it since we decided on the brand pretty quickly timing must really matter after all How is your husband doing That's right You often hear that you need strong negotiation skills or that you must study thoroughly beforehand when building a home but that's absolutely not the case at all Without overthinking it seeking advice from various people and since were initially introduced to the Chinese vendors ourselves I think it's a good idea to just jump in flat-out Some may feel it's a big hurdle but the most important thing is to just take that first step and listen to what they have to say Thank you so much for sharing such a wonderful home with us today Thank you again
