A Japanese-Inspired Home That Experiments with Interior Design, Space and Usability (House Tour)
Nestled in the northern suburb of Coburg, Harry House by Archier is a Japanese-inspired home that radiates familiarity and comfort.
As per the clients’ brief, Harry House is a Japanese-inspired home, with Archier incorporating Japanese design into many aspects of the architecture. Originally, the site was a double-fronted pre-war weatherboard cottage; the clients wanted to retain the entry’s warmth but reorientate the living space to frame the green foliage. This allowed the space to be maximised, combining the old and new aspects of the building.
Named after the family dog ‘Harry’, Harry House experiments with interior design, space and usability. The materials were chosen with care, making sure that each element ages well and is robust for family life. The textures celebrate honest carpentry, with materials that are unpolished yet full of life, adding to the atmosphere of the home.
Harry House is centred around family, with bespoke living areas that connect multiple aspects of the home. This includes the soft netted areas located in the voids, allowing the residents to occupy spaces without needing furniture.
Archier’s extension adds new elements of play, specifically in its design references to a childhood treehouse. The client’s Japanese heritage inspired the house, including how the space interplays with natural light and connection to the lush gardens. Located 10 minutes from the Archier Studio, the house has access to the Merri Creek, as well as restaurants on Lygon Street and Sydney Road.
As a Japanese-inspired home, the layout of the bathrooms was important for functionality and design. With separate spaces for the toilet, basin and bathing, it is easy to see how the architecture was influenced by the client’s heritage, honouring the traditional ways Japanese bathrooms are configured.
Having exceeded the clients’ expectations, and taking design inspiration from the client’s Japanese heritage, Harry House by Archier is a sustainable home, ready to raise a young family.

I am attracted to this cute dog!
There are no words…. Just dreamy is all I can think of, living in this "Harry House" with adorable Harry.
This might be my favourite house I’ve seen on all of youtube. It’s so beautifully made, love the garden wrapping around the building, the light, the colour scheme, the step-down kitchen, the respect for the historic structure, the Japanese-inspired detailing, it’s all very, very beautiful!
Also a home review channel, according to the general assessment: sitting at home is beautiful and gorgeous, the price is worth it for living at home like this 😍👍 It’s a dream. If you want a modern green house that is rustic and close to nature, come with ”Green features in this architecture”.

It’s beautiful but it’s in coburg
Stunning😍
Love this home…peaceful, calming, connected to the earth. Yes, I would love it. ❤ and there are not many city homes I would. But this is an exception. 💞🕊
I’ve heard good feedback about the Woodglut plans.
Cool project, who was the landscape architect? Might be good to reference them since it’s such a striking feature in this video

wow, so gorgeous! 💗🏡
my dream is to have a japanese style bathroom as well.
Hello my friends, I hope to follow the channel, as it is about explaining the architectural programs
Nice home with nature大好き
Gorgeous home
the step down kitchen is a brilliant idea??? why have people not been doing this for years?
To have money 😭😭 so beautiful, I would give anything to live in a home like this
This house is everything : thank you !
Beautiful haus！
Looks? A+.. I"m dubious about all that glass in the australian summer though. If none of it’s double glazed that’s just zero insulation from the heat!
Love the projects that are full of greens and woods. We really need to stop the "industrial design" and follow our origins more.
This is sooooo beautiful!!
Love the fusion of Asian and Western ideas in this house
Too cleannnn
It’s amazing!!!!
What a gorgeous home, so serene and natural in feeling, airy and organic. So many cool, innovative moments in there. Great family and doggy too.
The house is warm, inviting, beautiful, comfortable, relaxing and innovative house!!!! I absolutely love it !!!!!!
Was that their old dog on the sofa in the beginning?
Their kids are living lavish
Ingenious designer
DREAM HOUSE🌷🌹✨💕❤️🌲🌿🌱🌴🌳🍁🍂🍃🪐💫🌏🌎🌖
This is the best if both worlds! Heritage at the front, modern at the back!
The netting is so creative!
It looks like a simple 600sqft-900sqft cottage with a modern building smacked behind it and to cut costs they didn’t buy drywall or insulation to some walls but used scrapped and warped wood instead. I know it sounds like I’m throwing shade, but I’m not. It’s great they were able to achieve what they wanted.
Love the house, hate the background racket/music. So annoying.
This is amazing. However, from feng shui perspective, the entraceway shall not see all the way through to the back of the house. there should be a slight seperation. Otherwise it is believed that "wealth" enters the front door and is immediately "washed" out of the house. However I appreciate the architect’s work of art here.
this a dream house for me only if its a guaranteed safe neighborhood. i hate having glass walls that people can break easily and get in the house or having the fear of being watched all the time O_O
Bunch of random closeup shots. This video showed little to nothing we actually wanted to see. Crap production.
Wish i had a house like this
My favourite part of the vid is 0:19 Cute dog under sofa wagging its tail
Wow… Looking very nice construction of Home🙂✨…. And nice gardens
This is really great.
The house is nice, but Harry is the real star !
Unpopular opinion: I’m sure the house is beautiful, but I just don’t like the way this was shot and edited. Everything is either a close-up or a series of cinematic shots. I want to be able to see the home, not close-ups of a tree or a food bowl. It also overuses voice-over. Show, don’t tell.
Nice house but such a clickbait
I fell in love with this house 😍
A detached house with big windows surrounded by a big garden that’s surrounded by a tall wall is my dream house…
Oh my. I do love this.
