Boko House: Small Space, Big Ideas

Boko House: Small Space, Big Ideas

In Matsudo, Japan, Imai Hiroyasu has transformed a modest apartment into a sublime sanctuary for a couple and their two cats. Dubbed the Boko House, this 2022 concrete-style redesign seamlessly merges sleek human living spaces with cat-friendly features within a 65-square-meter (700-square-foot) area.

It’s a masterful example of dual-species design, where every shelf and beam becomes part of a larger, inter-species conversation, balancing aesthetics with the practicalities of a shared habitat. This apartment isn’t just a living space; it’s a thoughtfully curated environment where humans and pets coexist in harmony and comfort.
