Open House Group's Kansai Branch, a group company of Open House Group Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President & CEO: Ryosuke Fukuoka; hereinafter 'the Company'), will hold a talk and workshop event titled 'Comfortable Living with a Little Ingenuity, Even if You're Busy or Lazy! A Revolution in Tidying Our Home That Changes When You Notice' on Saturday, June 13, 2026, at the lifestyle proposal showroom, LIFE DESIGN PARK Osaka Umeda. This event, in collaboration with Watts Co., Ltd. (hereinafter 'Watts'), which operates 100-yen shops, will propose concrete ideas to resolve the limitations of urban living.
Transforming the Resignation of 'Small and Expensive' in Urban Areas into Excitement with 'Systems' The悩み of 'my house will be smaller in my desired area' or 'not enough storage' are major issues that affect living satisfaction when purchasing a home in an urban area. By combining the 'design power to maximize limited space' and 'traffic flow design' perspectives that our company has cultivated, with Watts' perspective of 'affordable and functional items,' and the perspective of life organizing to optimize living with a Life Organizer® as a lecturer, we propose a way of living that reduces the burden of housework and allows families to move independently and naturally.
Event Highlights
- What are the latest popular traffic flows? Open House style space utilization techniques We will introduce proposals such as a spacious walk-in shoe closet where you can place a stroller without folding it, and a return-home traffic flow that prevents outside dirt from being brought in. We will also introduce floor plan ideas to shorten busy morning hours and space utilization techniques for children to play freely.
- 'Experience-based' exhibition utilizing the showroom Participants can try out a 'Kids' Station' using 100-yen items from Watts in a venue that reproduces an actual living space, allowing them to check the usability on the spot.
- 'Storage is not about technique.' A professional teaches the correct 'traffic flow' Instead of focusing on 'where to store,' the focus is on 'who uses it and where.' Based on practical examples around the entrance and kitchen, we will explain a system that families won't get lost in.
- Proposal of a 'fully affirming the family' mindset We will provide hints for achieving a free lifestyle that is unique to you by questioning common sense such as 'a sofa is essential' or 'dishes go in the cupboard.'
