Japanese-Inspired Home Features Hidden Tech & Space-Saving Storage | Dwell Escapes

Japan may be 5,220 miles from Los Angeles, but in Culver City you'll discover a tiny piece of the country in David and Mayuko Lai's residence called the L House. As the name implies, L House is shaped like an "L" with the interior courtyard overlooking a pool. This Japanese-inspired home hides technology, doors and storage space with smart solutions.

This is a car commercial with little snippets of an amazing house. I want to see more of this gorgeous house.

Arguably one of the best 4:04 minute long unsolicited car ads I’ve seen

The house is stunning the owners did a great job incorporating their culture into it and keeping it modern but timeless

[Aoudhubillahi]

That is something really incredible about their culture...one bathroom and the Japanese soaking tubs. I am glad that they shared glimpses about themselves. Thank you for showing a wonderful family.

[miniteddy]

I wish they show a lot more of the hse

It takes discipline to keep the house looking so neat and pristine. Putting away things into their correct storage spaces takes effort!

Panda’s groomer needs be to recognized. Never seen such silky flowy dog hair before!

I REALLY wish this had been separated into car version & full tour...like the cable managment idea is brilliant, but can we actually SEE it?!

Sounds like he did a FABULOUS job & many of the Japanese house design concepts are foreign to those of us growing up in US houses...would’ve loved to see a more thorough tour

Perfect for driving the car into the pool

This was my favorite house and I love the narration. Explaining the process and reason for the design in a practical and beautiful


....and not for nothing it was nice to have something different than the typical we did because it was sustainable troupe...

And for those that can’t turn off the politics....beautiful and thoughtful design creates sustainability because you won’t spend resources (time, money, materials) to change it later...

Beautiful!
I agree, proud to say you have one bathroom and where all family can be together.
HOME It’s all about family and happiness, not a size.

Unfortunately the video was produced like an ad. A beautiful home but wished they would have focused more on that.

[ravent]

I like the engawa, and the tub, and the windows. Natural light is important.

[chairreader]

Beautiful home. If only I knew who the sponsor of this video was...

[nmj]

Beautiful! Well done! I’m an Interior Designer, I’d like the name of the Architect! The family is also beautiful!

[ilqaa]

This. This is the kind of house I want. A good mix of zen and tech.

[FondaLaShay]

This is more of a car commercial series now than about the houses. Why not tell us more about the house?! 😠

[vss]

Yeah I used to like the Dwell content but I don't need a bunch o car ads

Japanese culture is the most disciplined culture in the world
