STYLIO WITH Kamiikedai was designed by Blue Studio and is managed by Connect House, providing a platform for a community with food as its theme, fully supporting tenants to be able to live in comfort.
By visiting the house you can tell that there is almost no strictness or feeling of oppression inside. It has a wide, spacious kitchen in which to languidly enjoy cooking and sharing food with other housemates. Location-wise there is a bit of distance from the local station, however it is definitely a place its residents won’t be able to wait to come home to of a day.
“His cooking is really great.” “I wish you were my wife.” Different conversations are sure to fly about when housemates sit down at the large dining table for a meal together. This house will naturally foster communication and a warm sense of security through talk about food, perhaps even something like “I got a lot of fresh fish today so I tried making this salad.”
Good food calms the mind, and before you know it you’ll start to try your hand at cooking and time spent eating together with housemates will increase.
During your time at this house you will come to feel as if you have known everyone forever. This sharehouse will help you to reenergise and regain forgotten joys through food.
