Equipments
Kitchen on 1F
We had a custom stainless steel kitchen made. It is designed so that up to four people can cook simultaneously around it. Separately, there is another cooking station with two 3‑burner induction cooktops positioned on both sides. Additionally, to maximize space efficiency—though not shown on the floor plan—we have optimized locations for a dish‑drying rack and recyclable waste collection bags.
There is an island-style stainless steel kitchen counter with a single sink, allowing up to four people to cook simultaneously. The spacious design ensures that even when multiple people are gathered, they can work comfortably.
This cooking counter features two three-burner induction cooktops on either side, allowing several people to use it simultaneously.
The scene in the kitchen
They are often seen cooking together.
Laundry on 1F
We have two drum-style washing machines (no built-in dryers) and two gas-powered dryers. These machines can comfortably accommodate up to four users simultaneously. To minimize wait times, the drying process uses gas dryers—not electric—since gas units heat up faster and dry clothes more efficiently. All machines are free to use.
Bathroom on 1F and Showers on 2F & 3F
The first floor has a bathtub and shower, while the second and third floors have shower rooms. If you want to relax in a bathtub, please use the one on the first floor.
Please note that the 3rd floor is for women only.
Toilets on all floors
One on the 3rd floor is only for woman.
Smart home technology
Additionally, you can check the availability of all showers, toilets, and laundry machines on your smartphone, so you don’t need to physically go and see if they are free.
