Kevin, thank you! I don’t think it is “strictly” related but many machikoba fit your definition of the residence-combined factory. Let me know if you need any help.

Great article first of all! I am a student from Keio University and currently doing my Phd in Architecture. My topic is the residence-combined factory typology in Tokyo, did my first research in Sumida prefecture, around kinshicho especially. Do you think the “Machikoba” can be strictly related with this kind of typology? Most of the small factory which are in the same building as the owner’s residence, tend to be a family business and they are able to save money for the employees while the family run the factory. Machikoba is in general just a small factory in the downtown area of Tokyo or is a typology mixed with house? I am also investiganting on the possible architectural design characteristics of this typology, in order to find some peculiarity unique of this typology. Since its kind of disappearing I think it is important to recognize the qualities among them, and also their design qualities.

Best regards
Kevin

I am a start up clothing designer base in New York and I am interested in visiting leather factories in Tokyo. It’s there a Manufacturing Integrator I can work with? What are the costs also?

I will be visiting to Tokyo from a March 17th to 21st.
Looking forward to hear from you.

Great article.

Thanks,
