Mike Heide and Lea Daria John stepped into the Osaka House from April to the end of July 2025 to experience the pavilions for the World Expo and contribute to the house.
What started out as an ambition to build an indoor/outdoor shower in a stone garden met unexpected expenses from the Japanese plumbers and trash handling.
Nevertheless they delivered on tearing down the entire back room and the previous storage for the beds to rebuild as an indoor garden with a makeshift shower. Aiming to bring in more light, air and life to an otherwise enclosed space. While maintaining the overall architecture and intention of the space in the rest of the house.

ZeroOne is a platform for artists and collectors to collect and sell art using blockchain technology.
For their Seoul pop up in October 2025, Jane was invited to decorate 21 fans inspired by Korea. She used the Osaka House as an atelier while also refurbishing the space. Experiencing how the minimalist living creates a free head space to focus and be free of distractions to produce art.
