Habitat 67, a pioneering residential project designed by Safdie Architects in Montréal, set a transformative precedent for urban housing with its modular prefabrication approach. Initially created as the centerpiece for the 1967 Montreal World Exposition, this project aimed to integrate the spatial qualities of suburban living into a high-density urban context. Comprising 365 prefabricated modules, Habitat 67 forms 158 unique residences, each featuring private roof gardens and open spaces, merging suburban amenities with urban convenience. Despite facing challenges related to scaling and costs, Habitat 67 has remained an architectural icon, significantly influencing global design trends and continuing to be a celebrated residential complex.

For its first residence in the Tokyo area, hospitality group NOT A HOTEL joined forces with Japanese creative director NIGO to curate the entire living experience, from the overall concept to the smallest details.

The house is tucked into a cliff top overlooking the ocean off of Tokyo Bay, with a direct view of Mt. Fuji from the living room’s floor-to-ceiling windows. Located on the coast of Futtsu, Chiba, the home is around 45 minutes from Haneda Airport and one hour by car from Tokyo Station. Owners drive straight into the house through a tunnel.
