THE JAPANDI HOME

by Anton Wormann x Zero Renovation

The Vision

Behind This Project

Older Japanese houses have so much character. With the right care and renewal, they can be transformed into truly special homes.

Anton Wormann, a Swedish creator and DIY renovator, has been restoring homes in Japan since 2019. His focus is on creating calm, open spaces that feel good to live in.

Now he’s teaming up with Zero Renovation, a company that believes renovation should give people the freedom to live how they want.

Together they’re creating “The Japandi Home”, a fusion of Swedish and Japanese design, in Toritsudaigaku.  just three stops from Nakameguro on the popular Toyoko Line, this is one of Tokyo’s most desirable neighborhoods.

Concept

Designs for Light, Life, and Less.

This home blends Japanese and Western design, with a focus on simplicity and natural light.

Open spaces allow residents to shape the home freely.

Large south-facing windows on the fourth floor fill the space with sunlight and offer peaceful rooftop views.

I’ve always believed a home should reflect both its history and its future. With this project, we’ve blended the spirit of traditional Japanese architecture with the clarity and warmth of Scandinavian design. It’s a space meant to be lived in, slowly, intentionally, and with care. Working with Nishimura-san and the team at Zero Renovation has been a true pleasure throughout, from early layout decisions to construction and material choices.
