His new home, where he lives with his wife and two children, was designed by Ito\u2019s former prot\u00e9g\u00e9, Akihisa Hirata. The architect sees the house an extension of the street, filled with a mixture of plants, furniture, books, and occupants. The oversized staircase which begins at the entrance makes maximum use of the available space, coiling around three pillars in an \u201cS\u201d shape as it climbs three stories, with landings and extra-wide steps used for various activities around the house. This ingenious system does not allow one to see every part of the house from any other, but if the four members of the family are in opposite corners of the house they can still sense each other.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/habitatio.epitesz.bme.hu\/en\/iv-kiserleti-lakohelyek\/#internal-connections-as-a-whole\"><img src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/icon-long.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"hbt-svg-icon svg-tanulmany\"><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/habitatio.epitesz.bme.hu\/en\/iv-kiserleti-lakohelyek\/#external-connections-taken-as-a-whole\"><img src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/icon-long.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"hbt-svg-icon svg-tanulmany\"><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.atlistmaps.com\/map\/f597fd57-8221-42fd-b766-5ca54e97c1f8?marker_id=abb5dc47-26a2-48d4-8066-50f6e86b5175&amp;modal_open=true&amp;share=true&amp;zoom=10\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/icon-circle.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"hbt-svg-icon svg-terkep\"><\/a> <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/architecture\/akihisa-hirata-architecture-office-coil\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/icon-circle.png\" class=\"hbt-svg-icon svg-link\" ><\/a>\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/afasiaarchzine.com\/2012\/11\/akihisa-hirata-2\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/icon-circle.png\" class=\"hbt-svg-icon svg-link\" ><\/a>\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.spoon-tamago.com\/2012\/10\/01\/coil-by-akihisa-hirata-a-house-shaped-like-the-letter-s\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/icon-circle.png\" class=\"hbt-svg-icon svg-link\" ><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The client, who grew up in one of Toyo Ito\u2019s houses, wanted to create a spacious, ethereal space on a long, narrow plot.
