Designed by Studio Kyson, this award-winning one-bedroom house in Hackney Downs takes inspiration from Japan's inner-city traditional Ryokans. Minimalist in its design, a tactile material palette works in tandem with a pared-back aesthetic throughout. A secluded courtyard envelops the exterior, while a south-facing balcony extends off the bedroom. Just five minutes' walk from Hackney Downs Park, the house is within walking distance of London Fields, Dalston and Lower Clapton.
