<p>It was Steve Jobs who said that.<br />When you think of life as a journey, working and living at home, isn&#8217;t it all a process?</p>
<p>When I visited the newly opened JF House Osaki Work City for the first time, I couldn&#8217;t help but think of working in a house and these words came to mind. As the name Work City suggests, the space has been carefully designed to provide a comfortable working environment, much like a well-designed office you might find in a foreign company.</p>
<p>It is a space where you can feel the lines of communication, where people are conscious of creating an environment where they can face their work without being distracted by the fact that it is a residential space.<br />In such a place, people who want to enjoy working in their own way may gather.</p>
<p>Because it&#8217;s a concept share house specializing in &#8220;work&#8221;, the refined environment and atmosphere, as well as the multiple work spaces where you can choose where you&#8217;d like to work on any given day, is perhaps the appeal of &#8220;JF House Osaki Work City&#8221;. That&#8217;s what I was thinking.</p>
<p>I want to concentrate on remote work. If you&#8217;re looking for a work-related share house with a mature and relaxed atmosphere, this is the one you want to reach.</p>
<p>This time, we&#8217;d like to show you &#8220;JF House Osaki Work City&#8221;!</p>

<p><strong>How would you spend your time in your living room?</strong></p>
<p>The large living room, open to the kitchen, is a clean white space with three dining tables, a carpeted sofa and a counter in front of the kitchen. At the back of the living room, there&#8217;s also a space where you can relax while watching TV.</p>
<p>Even in a share house with a large number of people, you&#8217;ll be able to enjoy spending time together while maintaining a good sense of distance.</p>

<p>One of the best features of JF House Osaki Work City is the large work space. This is a great place to work remotely, study, read, or use as a third space when you need to concentrate a bit. We believe that having a space for work and study is one of the advantages of a large share house.</p>

<p>　It would be a great place for students who want to concentrate on their work or studies, or for those who want to gain 　qualifications. I hope you have such a good time.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[外国人の入居者もいるかも、こだわりが強い、オーナーについて、立地の利便性について 「一人じゃなくて、みんなで暮らしたい！」シェアハウスを選択とする方のニーズの一つに、日常に家族の様な存在を無意識に求めている事、少なくないと思います。 今回ご紹介するのは、お家を所有するオーナーの思いが籠もったシェアハウス「CUBE2」。元々は現役のアクセサリー職人でもあるオーナーが、実際に家族３代、8人家族で賑やかに暮らしていた、ご実家だったそうです。建物全体がほぼ真四角の立方体だから「CUBE2」という名称になったそうですが、オーナーご自身が住まわれていた頃は、アクセサリー制作の作業場も兼ねていたそうです。 世に展開されるシェアハウスは、物件を所有するオーナーから委託を受けた運営者が入退去の手続きや、デザイン、インテリアなどを手掛けるケースが殆どなのですが、この「CUBE2」は、オーナー自ら、空間設計や看板装飾などお家のフルリノベーションに携われ完成した物件とのこと。 後々、ご案内してまいりますが、施設内の細部にまで、この場所で暮らしていたご家族の思い出や暖かさを脈々と受け継いでいる、そんな印象を受けました。 ご自身とご家族が暮らしていた時間を壊すのではなく「温かみが残るよう再活用したからこそ誕生した、愛情に溢れる物件」そう謳っても、きっと間違いではないはず。 新しく入居する方々の為、施設内には、手作りのアクセサリーやデザイナーに特注したステンシルが散りばめられているなど、目を向けるあらゆる場所に温度を感じました。そう考えながら、お家全体を眺めると、都会にそっと佇む宝石箱のようなイメージも浮かんできてしまいます。 「東京での生活は、みんながみんな、個々に孤独に一生懸命行き過ぎてるし、都会の生活はあんまり馴染めないな.. 」 そんな思いを抱えている人も、そうでない人も、きっと暖かく包み込んでくれる、そんなシェアハウスなのかもしれません。 それでは早速、真四角なジュエリーボックスの中身を開いてみましょう。 「CUBE2」の物件詳細はこちら      独特の感性を感じる空間で、温かな痕跡を楽しむ。 １階でメインの共用部となるのは、こちらのリビングスペース。サンルーフが付いていて、食事中や作業中にも陽の光を浴びながら時間が過ごせるような造り。 ダークブラウンの木板に彩られた壁や、中央にどっしと構える木造の柱、壁紙の間から覗くレンガの壁など、独創的なアイデアがクロスステッチのように合わさった空間が広がっています。天井まで続く、黒い大きな食器棚が空間をキリッと引き締めていますし、ランダムなのに統一感も感じる雰囲気が本当にクールに思えました。 カフェを意識されたとのことですが、テーブルやカウンター席の配置など、随所にセンスの良さを感じました。 この場所、リノベーション前はアクセサリーの作業場だったとのこと。天井の鉄骨や、床を剥がした際に現れたコンクリートの打ちっ放しなどは、その時の名残だそうですが、過去の時間や痕跡を大切にされた空間、建物って、ホント素敵ですよね。   料理中のひと休憩に使える、大きなソファ。日差しが当たって眠くなりそう。  キッチンからの眺めはこんな感じ。ソファにいる人と会話しながら料理するのも良いですね。     リビング全体を見ると、開放的で広いことがわかります。 キッチンにも寄りやすく、リビングにも寄りやすく、入居者同士の交流も、適度に仲良くなれそう。 背景を白にした、”映え”キッチン。 家具や床、扉など全体的に木で統一されたシェアハウスですが、キッチンに関しては背景の色をわざと白にさせたようで。キッチンの枠や真上にある板も木で創られていますし、壁の色は白にしたほうがそれらの存在が目立ってより一層綺麗に見えるのかもしれません。 白は光を反射すると言いますし、窓の大きい物件ですからリビング全体が明るくなって、フレッシュな空間をより演出してくれそう。 広すぎないから、余計な移動もなしで快適に料理できそうです。 キッチン用具は全て黒で統一されているのでしょうか。こんなところからも、スタイリッシュさを感じますね。 木に囲まれながら、プライベートな時間を嗜む。 こちらの少し変わった形をしたお部屋が一番広いサイズで、広さは約13㎡。これだけの広さがあれば、もはや実家や一人暮らしよりものびのびと暮らせそう。2人で入居することも可能なようなので、仲の良い友だちや恋人とルームシェアをするのも良いですね。 机や椅子、ベッド、エアコン、冷蔵庫が付いていてもスペースに十分余裕があるので、自分好みの家具を揃えてみてはいかがでしょう。折角、木で統一されているスタイリッシュな空間なので、それに合わせて「白」と「木」をベースにした家具であったり、ルームフレグランスをヒノキにしてみたりすると、物件のもとある美しさを引き出せる気がしますね。 その他のお部屋は大きさにバラつきがありますが、おおよそ約7㎡~約9㎡となっています。大きければ良いという訳でもないので、部屋の大きさやレイアウトを含め、自分に合う居心地の良いお部屋を選んでみてください。 ベットや机があってもなお空間に余裕のあるお部屋。日差しが眠くなりそう。 扉の横にも空間が。このスペース、なにかに使えそうですね。  時代の流れにフィットした、スタディルームのあるシェアハウス。 こちらは1階のリビングスペースの奥にある共有スペース。シェアハウス内に、複数の共有スペースがあるのって、住んで頂ければきっと大きな違いと感じる方も多いであろう、大きなポイント。住居人同士の距離が近くなればなるほど、やっぱり個別に相談したいことってあったりするじゃないですか。 それに、こうしたスペア的な空間でさえも、「映え」を感じる工夫が凝らされているのも感じることができて、オーナーさんの思いというか、職人さん的な思いも感じましたよ。ツートーンの壁を背景に配置されたエンジ色のソファは、思わず写真に収めたくなるくらいシックでお洒落なアクセントと言って良いはず。 また、少し見えずらいのですが、右端の柱には、リノベーション前に住人さんの親戚の方々が集まったときに身長を刻まれた跡が残されていました。洗練された空間の中にも、こうした楽しげな生活の痕跡が残っているのも、温かみがあって素敵ですし、ここに新しく住まわれる方々の楽しげな痕跡も少しずつ刻まれていくのかもしれませんね。 机が２個のスタディールームも。リモート会議にもどうぞ。 屋上はこのようになっています。天気の良い日は気分爽快ですね。   案内の感想、周辺環境について 現役のアクセサリー職人であるオーナーの愛情が詰まったシェアハウス「CUBE２」如何だったでしょうか。 空間のクオリティーや、設備の充実さも申し分ないですが、訪問しながら印象に残ったのは、やはり施設内にあるインテリアや家具など細部にまで、こだわりと愛情を注がれている空間が存在しているということ。 大切にしてきた場所が、また別の誰かにとって大切な場所になる。携わった人達の想いが、空間にギュッと込められている場所って、素敵ですよね。 大規模物件ではなく、全12世帯と比較的、コンパクトな物件だからこそ、温かい家族のような絆は生まれやすいはず。 実際に、ご自身が大切なご家族と過ごしてきた大切なお家だからこそ、ただシェアハウスを運営するのではなく、都会で新しく生活を始める人に、出来ればこの場所で生活を始める人達が、近い距離で、第２の家族と思えるような、そんな場所になれば嬉しい。 「人間は一人では生きていけないからね」「ご先祖様に良い報告ができるかなと思って」 訪問時、オーナーが目を細めながら、そう仰った優しい言葉に、僕も仕事に対する考えに暖かみの大切さを感じた訪問となりました。 都会という資本主義競争の中に身を置きながら、孤独に頑張る時間が長くなると、ついつい視線が自己の営利ばかりに向いてしまいがちですが、大切な人達と過ごした大切な時間、空間を壊し建て替えるのではなく、活かし紡いでいく、という答え。「Cube２」に訪問された方や新しく住まわれる方々が、そんな思いに触れながら、楽しく温かみのある時間を過ごして貰えたら嬉しいです。 この場所で暮らす方々の日々が、一つ一つ丁寧に作られたアクセサリーのように、輝く日々であります様に。 /Author: Daichi, [&#8230;]]]></description>

<p>こちらの少し変わった形をしたお部屋が一番広いサイズで、広さは約13㎡。これだけの広さがあれば、もはや実家や一人暮らしよりものびのびと暮らせそう。2人で入居することも可能なようなので、仲の良い友だちや恋人とルームシェアをするのも良いですね。</p>
<p>机や椅子、ベッド、エアコン、冷蔵庫が付いていてもスペースに十分余裕があるので、自分好みの家具を揃えてみてはいかがでしょう。折角、木で統一されているスタイリッシュな空間なので、それに合わせて「白」と「木」をベースにした家具であったり、ルームフレグランスをヒノキにしてみたりすると、物件のもとある美しさを引き出せる気がしますね。</p>
<p>その他のお部屋は大きさにバラつきがありますが、おおよそ約7㎡~約9㎡となっています。大きければ良いという訳でもないので、部屋の大きさやレイアウトを含め、自分に合う居心地の良いお部屋を選んでみてください。</p>

<p dir="ltr">現役のアクセサリー職人であるオーナーの愛情が詰まったシェアハウス「CUBE２」如何だったでしょうか。</p>
<p dir="ltr">空間のクオリティーや、設備の充実さも申し分ないですが、訪問しながら印象に残ったのは、やはり施設内にあるインテリアや家具など細部にまで、こだわりと愛情を注がれている空間が存在しているということ。</p>
<p dir="ltr">大切にしてきた場所が、また別の誰かにとって大切な場所になる。携わった人達の想いが、空間にギュッと込められている場所って、素敵ですよね。</p>
<p>大規模物件ではなく、全12世帯と比較的、コンパクトな物件だからこそ、温かい家族のような絆は生まれやすいはず。</p>
<p dir="ltr">実際に、ご自身が大切なご家族と過ごしてきた大切なお家だからこそ、ただシェアハウスを運営するのではなく、都会で新しく生活を始める人に、出来ればこの場所で生活を始める人達が、近い距離で、第２の家族と思えるような、そんな場所になれば嬉しい。</p>
<p dir="ltr">「人間は一人では生きていけないからね」<br />「ご先祖様に良い報告ができるかなと思って」</p>
<p dir="ltr">訪問時、オーナーが目を細めながら、そう仰った優しい言葉に、僕も仕事に対する考えに暖かみの大切さを感じた訪問となりました。</p>
<p dir="ltr">都会という資本主義競争の中に身を置きながら、孤独に頑張る時間が長くなると、ついつい視線が自己の営利ばかりに向いてしまいがちですが、大切な人達と過ごした大切な時間、空間を壊し建て替えるのではなく、活かし紡いでいく、という答え。「Cube２」に訪問された方や新しく住まわれる方々が、そんな思いに触れながら、楽しく温かみのある時間を過ごして貰えたら嬉しいです。</p>
<p dir="ltr">この場所で暮らす方々の日々が、一つ一つ丁寧に作られたアクセサリーのように、輝く日々であります様に。</p>

<p>The Japanese are a people who are able to read between the lines in their daily lives, and because of this have long been accustomed to living with many people under one roof. With the influx of Western culture, however, these large families broke down into nuclear families in order to fit in with this new lifestyle and we are now in an age where living alone is not uncommon and the Japanese family structure is getting smaller&#8230;</p>
<p>That said, the shared living lifestyle has recently been gaining popularity and a new culture incorporating the traditional concept of many people living together in one house can be felt.</p>
<p>It was by the influence of Western culture that the Japanese family structure came to be more compact, and one way we can look at it is that as opportunities to express themselves increased, the Japanese started deciding things for themselves.   </p>
<p>We hear the word DIY (an abbreviation of Do It Yourself) everywhere, and the owner of the share house we will be introducing to you today takes this idea and provides the foundation of a house onto which the people who live there can add. </p>
<p>What kind of place is a share house where the owner and tenants work together to construct a creative atmosphere? Let’s waste no time and have a look inside!</p>

<p>Light reflects the white in the color-scheme and makes those in there feel the room is invigorating and even bigger than it actually is. There aren’t many spacious places like this in which there is no limit to what you can do, and by being here the excitement never ends as you are continuously thinking of things to do. Here and there you’ll find furniture hand-made from leftover timber and you can understand the designer’s idea of wanting others to ‘use things carefully.’</p>

<p>This share house is actually an architectural award-winning designer house, its design overseen by a designer who studied architecture for 7 years in Sweden. His experience living overseas is reflected markedly in the design of his share houses. </p>
<p>The owners paint the walls themselves and proactively work to create a good environment for the tenants, all the while enjoying themselves.</p>
<p>Wherever we go we are inundated with choices, however creating your own space just the way you like it is something quite special.</p>
<p>A room only you can create, in a house only you can create together with the others living with you.</p>
<p>The best thing about living with other people in a share house is creating something great with everyone’s input. </p>

<p>Shinagawa James Saka House is a new share house in Shinagawa, a place somewhat of a hot topic recently as the front door to southern Tokyo, being considered for the starting point of the new Chuo Shinkansen Line as well as its proximity to Haneda airport, connecting Japan to the world.</p>
<p>This share house a completely renovated, 3 storey concrete building a 2-minute walk from Shinbanba station on the Keikyu line and is located almost in the middle of Shinagawa station on the Yamanote line, Oimachi station and Tennozu Isle station, so there is bound to be many people living here in order to free themselves from even longer work commutes.</p>
<p>Step inside and, as expected of a newly opened share house, you will find it full of new fixtures and furnishings just waiting for you to begin your new life here. The living and dining area is equipped with everything you could possibly need for cooking including electrical appliances and dinnerware, and the rooms are furnished with a bed, desk, chair and closet so that you can move and settle in immediately even if bringing only your most personal belongings. It’s a most convenient house for those moving to the city from the country, working in the area or those who just want to enjoy the city lifestyle.</p>
<p>Alright then, on to the house!</p>

<p>All rooms in the house are private, and are places where you can maintain your own personal space. Almost all of the rooms get great sunlight, even the corner rooms, so you can wake up to a refreshing morning every day.</p>

<p>I’m sure there are many people who want to live in share houses but get discouraged and give up when considering the costs of rent and living.</p>
<p>While it’s often impossible to fulfill demands such as cheaper rent for smaller rooms, Shinagawa James Saka House has a room to fit every budget.</p>
<p>This house has already had a lot of interest from prospective tenants, so if it appeals to you and you are interested in living in Shinagawa, please get in contact as soon as possible.</p>
<p>Incidentally, when I first heard the name of this house I assumed that the meaning was that the property was located on or at the top of a hill (‘saka’ means ‘hill’), however when I asked the staff about it they told me that the area around the house was pretty much all gently sloping inclines.</p>
<p>I wondered, then, why the word for ‘hill’ was used and found out the gentle slopes of today had once been very steep and was known as Sengen-saka (or Sengen Hills), and during the Meiji period an Englishman living at the bottom named John M. James used his own funds to flatten the hills, thereafter known as James-saka (James’s Slope).</p>
<p>This John M. James was associated with Ryoma Sakamoto and contributed to the creation of the Japanese Navy, also teaching navigation skills in 1872.</p>
<p>Personally, I hope that living in a share house will be a chance for others to meet new people and experience new things, and Shinagawa James Saka House may even lead to cultural exchange and set the scene for a new story to tell.</p>
