Brutus (ブルータス) is a bi-weekly Japanese men’s magazine devoted to pop culture, lifestyles, and culture in Tokyo, Japan by Magazine House.

JAPANESE LANGUAGE ONLY

The latest issue of BRUTUS is "Residential Space Studies 2026."

A home is a vessel that reflects the life of its resident. That is precisely why one wants to indulge in one's own "whims"—to have things exactly as one desires. Since it is the place where we spend the longest part of our lives, we naturally want to avoid compromise.

However, the reality is that the housing landscape has become increasingly challenging in recent times. To realize those personal desires, one cannot simply rely on idealistic notions. It requires ingenuity and, at times, persistent determination. The homes completed through such efforts vividly express the personalities of their residents. That is exactly what makes home-building so fascinating.

"Residential Space Studies 2026" explores the homes and lives of 32 groups of people who have created such special places.
