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.

What kind of house you want to live in is connected to “what kind of life you choose”.Zero Renovation believes like above, and have always wanted to bring the beauty and depth of Japanese living to the world through house-renovation.Now we met our wonderful partner, Anton, we produced a house where the cultures and sensitivity of both Japan and Scandinavia interact with each other. We hope that this house will reach someone who truly wants to live here.
