TATAMI BEDROOMS

2022  |  COMPLETE  |  VANCOUVER, BC  |  INTERIORS

​

A tatami room is one of the most beautiful ways to make a small home live larger.

​

In this laneway house, the tatami room was designed as a flexible, quiet, multi purpose space. During the day, it can be used for yoga, stretching, meditation, tea, reading, or simply as a calm room away from the rest of the house. In the evening, it can become a guest room by rolling out a shikifuton and kakefuton, following the Japanese tradition of storing bedding away during the day to free up valuable floor space.

​

What makes tatami so special is that it is not just a design feature. It changes how a room is used. It invites a slower, lower, more grounded way of living. It creates a space that feels intentional, calm, and adaptable, especially in compact homes where every square foot matters.

​

At Longpre Architecture, we design homes that are practical, beautiful, and deeply livable. Tatami rooms are one of the ways we help clients create spaces with soul, flexibility, and cultural depth.

​

If you are interested in adding a tatami room, Japanese inspired room, meditation space, guest room, or flexible floor based living area to your home, we would be happy to help you explore what is possible.
