japanese practice be-fun design has recently completed ‘attic house’, a 9 family residential block in tokyo, japan. positioned perpendicular to the main road, inhabitants access their individual dwelling from a row of paired portals within an alley. every other door leads into four two-storey homes are entered directly at street level, while the intermediary four require residents to climb a spiral staircase to reach the two-storey units positioned above the ground level residences. due to the site’s size, a last leftover dwelling breaks the alternating pattern and spans all four floors.
