Juicy House, designed for a couple with numerous creative passions, a sizable library, and a penchant for bright colors, is a compact residence defined not by space-stealing partitions but by areas of activity. “In a small house we don’t insist on the unit of the room,” Bow-Wow’s Yoshiharu Tsukamoto says. “We create a scene of occupancy. One room is occupied by bookshelves, the atelier is occupied by paintings, and another area is occupied by orange.” The transition from a white space dominated by books into a room of unrestrained orange creates such a dynamic contrast that there’s no need to install walls, shoji, or any other formal separation.
