Urban and traditional town hybrid：KAE OSAKA by TESEN

Get both comfortable life and interaction.

This house is a 3-minute walk from Senbayashi Omiya Station on the OSAKA METRO Tanimachi Line and a 10-minute walk from Senbayashi Station on the Keihan Railway. A new share house, "KAE OSAKA," will open in this vibrant city full of shopping streets!

 "KAE OSAKA" is named with the two meanings of "going home" and "getting home." t was designed as a multicultural traditional town share house, combining the culture and people of Osaka, in addition to cross-cultural exchange with people of many different nationalities. One of the attractions of "KAE OSAKA" and its concept is "urban-ness and traditional town-ness.

The property is surrounded by public bathhouses, shopping streets, and riverbeds, giving it a sense of security and nostalgia typical of a traditional town area. The riverbed is rich in nature and very wide, and many people enjoy relaxing by looking at the river, taking a walk, running, or having a BBQ. Such a traditional town feeling will become a part of your life, and you will be able to spend relaxing days that you cannot find in the city.

On the other hand, the nearest station, Senbayashi Station, which is a 3-minute walk from the property, has a thriving restaurant district and offers the convenience of an urban area. For those who want the comfort of the city, but also want the nostalgia and peace of mind of a traditional town area, and are looking for a hybrid of the two, this may be the share house for you.

This 3-story house has a shared space on the first floor, and living space on the second and third floors, with the third floor reserved for women only. The shared space is a living/dining room style, with the kitchen and living room integrated into one. When we visited, we were surprised to be greeted by large sofas like those seen in foreign TV dramas and a stylish horizontal bar counter like those found in cafes. Sitting here, everyone watches movies or eats dinner together.... It was the kind of space where you could imagine that if the people living together could strike up a conversation, they would naturally become friends.

This house is near a station, with easy access to Osaka Station and Umeda Station. The shopping district in front of the station, which is said to be one of the least expensive in Osaka, is lined with friendly local stores from clothing stores to bars, so you can look forward to coming home every day.

Let's have a quick look inside of this house!

When we enter from the entrance, the first thing that comes into view is the fluffy sofa that appears in overseas dramas. It is a spacious space where everyone can gather and relax. A simple interior and wallpaper arrangements create a unified and peaceful area.

As you can see from the back of the picture, the living room and kitchen are integrated with a large counter, so you can cook rice and eat in the living room, sit down on the counter and watch TV, and use it freely. It may be fun to find your favorite places. They designed the resident to pass through this living room to return to their private room from the entrance. Even if you are nervous, it will be a place where you can start interacting with your housemates from your daily greetings.

Have a great conversation make you feel warm.

 A big wooden bar counter with a total length of 8 meters. Not only as a dining table but also open notebooks for work or reading books, it is the perfect height for an extraordinary mood. The position of the lighting is also considered one by one, and it seems that at night you can create a mood-like space like a bar. It is likely to be a place where you can have a good time with your mate while drinking and talking, and sharing a meal with your share mates.

They also care about the number and color of home appliances. They chose a calm color so as not to destroy the whole atmosphere. Leveraging the expertise of operating in other houses, they adjusted the appliances to a sufficient number. It is a space where you can feel their care.

Here is a private room with that bright and calm space based on white. The whole space of the building is made based on white, and the stairs, including the handrail, are completely white. It is an elegant space that you cannot think of as a steel building.

Because it's a share house, sometimes you may want to take care of your own time. It might be good to spend such a holiday, spending quietly alone in your own space.

KAE OSAKA" aims to create a relaxing space with excellent facilities based on the concept of "urbanity and traditional town. Are you interested in living in a share house but worried about getting along with the people around you, or do you want to meet new people but lack the courage to take the first step? After my visit, I felt once again that the house will be a place where a warm community will spread, and that it will provide a gentle push to such people.

This house is managed by Nippon Rays Inc. They also run other share houses, and this is their third house. They even made their design and furniture choices. We asked them for the recommend point of this house.

Nippon Rays Inc. 

Excellent access, 3 minutes walk from the station and about 10 minutes to Osaka. In the "Senbayashi Shopping Street" that continues from the station, there are bakery shops, Japanese confectionery shops, and coffee shops that make you want to stop by on the way home.

 

The living room feels calm while being bright colors based on white and wood. Have a dinner at the 8m counter dining or watch a movie on an American style sofa. We made this house for those who spend a busy day going back and forth between the office and the house. We hope they can meet new people at this share house and share their luxury time.

Don't you want to get both know new people and calm life? Here is the perfect sharehouse for such people. We found here a form of community that is more than just work and home. Even if you not an outgoing person, the communication born naturally in your life will surely lead to new encounters. You may meet people who will be your lifetime colleagues through casual exchanges in your daily life.

Why not start a new life in this warmest place of Osaka?
