Makoto Tanijiri is active not only as an architect but also across various fields. Currently based in both his hometown of Hiroshima and Tokyo, his work spans a wide range, from planning and designing architecture and interiors, renovations, to furniture design.

This collection brings together conversations that Tanijiri began in April 2009 for the architecture and interior design magazine 'Modern Living'. In each discussion, he explores the images of architecture and spaces that arise while talking with guests from various fields about their ideal homes, giving form to the 'daydreams' of what kind of houses they wish existed.

The conversations feature a stellar lineup of guests who command attention across their respective fields, including flower artist Makoto Azuma, book director Motoyuki幅, professional basketball player Yuta Tabuse,DJ Shuya Okino, broadcast writer and screenwriter Kundo Koyama, and actor and film directorReverse Project, Yusuke Iseya, who also heads the 'Reverse Project'.

The discussions delve not only into architecture but also into approaches to craftsmanship and work. By exploring the connections to architecture, these conversations have given birth to houses that are both fantastical and yet desirable to live in. We invite you to enjoy the imaginative power of these individuals active in various fields and discover what kind of houses emerge from their daydreams.
