The rooms vary from 4 sqm to 18 sqm in size and 2.35 meters to 4.9 meters in height, with an additional 19 spaces in between the circular rooms, making it a total of 58 rooms.Ĭircular rooms with varying sizes, openings, and layoutsĪll spaces within one apartment of House Okamura are open to each other, with areas varying between 90 sqm and 110 sqm.
