In a proud moment for the Japanese real estate industry, LEAFIA Komae Izumi Honcho, developed by Odakyu Real Estate Co., Ltd., has been honored with the prestigious 20th Kids Design Award in the category of 'Children's Participation and Engagement.' The award ceremony, hosted by the non-profit Kids Design Council, took place on August 19, 2026, highlighting innovations that support children's development and wellbeing.

A Step Towards Sustainable Development

Odakyu Group, headquartered in Shibuya, Tokyo, has long been dedicated to promoting sustainable growth alongside local communities.

Understanding the Kids Design Award

Founded in 2007, the Kids Design Award highlights products, services, spaces, activities, and research that enable children to participate in shaping their future society. It recognizes designs targeted toward children and those created for adults but considerate of child development. The award serves to support creative and secure environments for children.

Features of LEAFIA Komae Izumi Honcho

Innovative Living Spaces

LEAFIA Komae Izumi Honcho consists of a series of five single-family homes, strategically located in Komae City, Tokyo. This property is nestled near the tranquil banks of the Tama River, surrounded by farmland and essential amenities, making it an ideal setting for raising children.

In response to rising property prices, particularly for new homes, the focus has shifted towards compact living. Families today find themselves increasingly in need of both personal space and communal interaction. With the design of LEAFIA Komae, rooms are designed not just for individual functions but to create synergy within the living space.

The layouts incorporate 'play,' 'learning,' and 'storage' into a concept known as 'third place.' This means that functional areas are intentionally dispersed throughout the living space, fostering an environment where family members can achieve both independence and togetherness. The dining and living areas function as a central hub, allowing parents to work while maintaining visibility of their children—a crucial design principle for busy, dual-income families.
