# Nouns House #1 - Tokyo, Jpn
## **README ⌐◧-◧**
This proposal serves as an alternative to [Proposal 419](https://nouns.wtf/vote/419), offering a phased approach to establishing **Nouns House DAO**. It outlines the first step to create Nouns House #1, mobile app, website, and artwork, followed by funding of the treasury in the next step.
All feedbacks are greatly appreciated!
## **0. TLDR;**
Hello! I am [tenichiliu.eth](https://etherscan.io/address/tenichiliu.eth), co-founder of Enabler DAO ([Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/enabler.fun/), [Twitter](https://twitter.com/enablerofficial), [Website](https://enablerdao.com/)). Our decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) focuses on gathering, utilizing, managing, and improving idle assets like unused houses and cars within communities worldwide. My fellow co-founder at Enabler DAO, [yukihamada.eth](https://etherscan.io/address/yukihamada.eth), is a holder of [Noun 312](https://nouns.wtf/noun/312), and we believe in the power of NounsDAO just as you do.
We are proposing a funding of **$52,450 (32 ETH)** to give a Nounish Makeover to a vacation rental property in Tokyo, Japan, valued around $1,000,000 USD. We intend to create “Nouns House #1” with this funding. Our property has already completed interior and exterior renovations; the funding will be used for the Nounish Makeover, development of mobile apps & websites, and Nouns House on-chain artwork.
We believe the Nouns model holds a huge potential in the realm of asset management. The decentralized, community-led governance model combined with NFT auction may open new forms of asset sharing. We plan to take this Nouns approach of asset management and expand the Nouns House brand into a scalable global business.
In alignment with NounsDAO’s CC0 philosophy, we will make all software and hardware implemented in this project open source. Furthermore, we plan to collaborate with the Nouns projects active in Japan such as [pNouns](https://pnouns.wtf/en/) ([Noun 553](https://nouns.wtf/noun/553), [Noun 556](https://nouns.wtf/noun/556)), to add Nounish elements to Nouns House #1.
The diverse industry experience of our team will significantly contribute to the success of this project. [yukihamada.eth](https://etherscan.io/address/yukihamada.eth) is a former executive CPO at Mercari, [yukill.eth](https://etherscan.io/address/yukill.eth) is a former CEO at ZOZO, [Jiro](https://twitter.com/jiroisagame) is a former YouTuber with 1.3 million subscribers, and I, [tenichiliu.eth](https://etherscan.io/address/tenichiliu.eth), am a former engineer from Amazon HQ.
This proposal was inspired by [Nouns Deli](https://twitter.com/NounsDeli)’s proposal ([Proposal 254](https://nouns.wtf/vote/254), approved on 03/09/2023). Our next step is to establish a Nounish subDAO, called “Nouns House DAO”. Similar to the [Nouns Builder Protocol](https://nouns.build/) ([Proposal 167](https://nouns.wtf/vote/167), approved on 11/12/2022), we aim to create a subDAO inheriting NounsDAO’s auction, treasury, and governance system. We plan to create Nouns House #2 and subsequent Nouns Houses based on community decisions governed by Nouns House DAO.
## **1. Nouns House** DAO **⌐◧-◧**
Nouns House #1 created through this proposal will serve as the first Nouns House governed by Nouns House DAO. Following the successful execution of this proposal, we will submit a 2nd proposal to establish the Nouns House DAO as a Nounish subDAO. **Our goal is to create Nouns House in major cities around the world where people can experience Nouns art and culture.** Nouns House DAO will be responsible for the operation and financial management of all Nouns Houses. 100% of the funds secured in the next proposal will be transferred to the treasury of Nouns House DAO. Once the funds are transferred, the auction for Nouns House NFTs and DAO governance will be initiated.
## **2. Enabler DAO / Team ⌐◧-◧**
Enabler DAO is a asset sharing community that aims to facilitate easy sharing of large assets like houses and cars by leveraging blockchain and AI technology. As of October 2023, we operate 10 properties across 5 locations (Tokyo, Kyoto, Atami, Teshikaga, and Honolulu) in Japan and the United States. These properties are monetized through asset sharing within the community as well as through Online Travel Agencies (OTAs) like Airbnb and Booking.com. Below are some of our properties with links to OTAs.
🇯🇵 [**WHITE HOUSE Atami**](https://airbnb.com/h/white-house-atami
) - Shizuoka, Japan
🇯🇵 [**MACHIYA Kyoto**](https://www.kyoto-machiya-inn.com/accommodations/hanatoki/
) - Kyoto, Japan
🇯🇵 [**THE NEST Teshikaga**](https://airbnb.com/h/the-nest-teshikaga) - Hokkaido, Japan
🇺🇸 [**BEACH HOUSE Honolulu**](https://airbnb.com/h/beach-house-honolulu-annex) - Hawaii, USA
The 4 founders of Enabler DAO are [yukihamada.eth](https://etherscan.io/address/yukihamada.eth) (Noun 312), former executive CPO of Mercari; [yukill.eth](https://etherscan.io/address/yukill.eth), former CEO and board member of ZOZO; [Jiro](https://twitter.com/jiroisagame), former YouTuber “Charisma Brothers” with 1.3 million subscribers; and [tenichiliu.eth](https://etherscan.io/address/tenichiliu.eth), a trilingual former Amazon HQ engineer with 5-years of experience. Enabler DAO was founded in October 2021, and we currently operate with about 10 members. We have been operating highly successful and profitable vacation rental properties in multiple locations, and bring expertise in both rental operations and property management. Moreover, our diverse team brings a wide range of business and product development experience, combined with our strong track record, I believe we are in a unique position to be successful at running the first Nouns House.
## **3. Nounish Makeover ⌐◧-◧**
We plan to transform our property in Aoyama, an upscale district in Tokyo, into "Nouns House #1," with a Nounish makeover filled with Nouns artwork.
Aoyama is a hub of designer boutiques, art galleries, cafes, and shopping districts. It's not only a attracts for affluent individuals but also a popular tourist destination. Given the area's reputation and successful track record of our nearby properties, we anticipate strong demand for high-end vacation rental property in Aoyama.
In recent years, there has been a “sauna boom” in Japan. The number of sauna enthusiasts has been increasing due to heightened health consciousness and the proliferation of sauna facilities. In fact, the number of sauna users in Japan has increased by more than one million in the past year, and high-end sauna facilities in Tokyo are extremely popular. We believe that Nouns House #1 will become widely popular within the sauna communities and beyond.
The artwork used for interior and exterior of Nouns House #1 will be directed by amiyoko.eth who have contributed many artwork to various Nouns projects such as NounsDAO Anniversary Art 2023 and Sushi Nouns.
The 1st floor is the sauna area, the 2nd floor features a living-dining-kitchen area, and the 3rd floor will be an office space and a bedroom. We aim to infuse each floor with Nounish elements while maintaining a sense of luxury in the interior design.
## **4. Mobile App ⌐◧-◧**
We will create a mobile app for making reservations and managing operations for all Nouns Houses to be created. For development, we will be using an open-source framework called [Skeet](https://skeet.dev/en/) to enhance efficiency and productivity. [Skeet](https://skeet.dev/en/) integrates with GCP (Google Cloud Platform) and Firebase, making it easier to develop serverless full-stack applications.
The app utilizes the Solana blockchain, which offers a rich selections of tools and packages for on-chain development. Solana also supports user-friendly multi-chain wallets like Phantom. Moreover, the low gas fees on Solana enable cost-effective transactions.
We are incorporating a token-gating feature into the app to offer special coupons and priority reservations to Nouns House NFT holders (and more). The app will also handle room inventory management and automatically notify cleaners once a reservation is confirmed. All members of Nouns House DAO will have the opportunity to work any work available in the app and earn utility tokens as rewards.
The app will accept credit cards and cryptocurrencies as form of payment. It will also be fully integrated with the smart home features, enhancing guest experiences through mobile-operable smart locks and smart lights. The app will be maintained and updated to accommodate not only Nouns House #1 but all future additions to the Nouns House portfolio.
## **5. Roadmap ⌐◧-◧**
After the proposal is approved, we will immediately start the Nounish Makeover and the development of the mobile app and website. In January 2024, we plan to pre-open Nouns House #1 for invited guests, and release the beta version of the website. In the following month, Nouns House #1 will have its grand opening, and the beta version of the app will be released.

## **6. Budget ⌐◧-◧**
**We are proposing $52,450 (32 ETH) funding for creating Nouns House #1 and kick starting the infrastructure and artwork development for Nouns House DAO.** The Nounish Makeover will cost $15,000 (~9 ETH), the development of the mobile app and website will cost $31,450 (~19 ETH), and the artwork for Nouns House will cost $6,000 (~4 ETH). All work will commence immediately upon the approval of the proposal.
**Nouns House #1 Nounish Makeover: $15,000 (~9 ETH)**
- "Nounish" Exterior Wall Art: $5,000
- "Nounish" Interior Art & Amenities: $10,000
**Mobile App & Website (6-month development): $31,450 (~19 ETH)**
- Founding Engineer: $5,000/month
- [Skeet](https://skeet.dev/en/) (SDK): $75/month
- Professional Photos & Miscellaneous Costs: $1,000
**Nouns House Artwork (2-month work): $6,000 (~4 ETH)**
- Nouns House NFT Collection by [amiyoko.eth](https://etherscan.io/address/amiyoko.eth): $4,000
- "Nounish" Art for Nouns House #1 by [amiyoko.eth](https://etherscan.io/address/amiyoko.eth): $2,000
## **7. Community Benefits ⌐◧-◧**
This proposal aims to expand the Nouns community by creating the first "Nouns House," a network of properties where people can experience Nouns art and culture in major cities worldwide.
In the next step, we will propose to establish Nouns House DAO, Nounish subDAO, that will own Real World Asset (RWA) and operate them as a profit-making business, and to scale the Nouns House brand as a global brand. RWA is an area where the web3 industry is still struggling, and this new venture has the potential to significantly advance the industry on this front.
Upon the establishment of the Nouns House DAO, we plan to airdrop Nouns House NFTs to existing Nouns NFT holders. This ensures that the governance weight of existing Nouns NFT holders remains unchanged from NounsDAO. Additionally, Nouns House NFT holders will be offered special perks such as discounted rates and priority access to Nouns Houses.
## **8. CC0 ⌐◧-◧**
We believe, Nouns House’s CC0 culture will bring innovation to the real estate industry. While real estate design and architecture are generally not open-source, we will make all of these publicly available through our CC0 library. CC0 approach will also have a large impact on the vacation rental industry. By providing tools to help achieve efficient operations, we will accelerate the automation and digital transformation of the traditionally labor intensive and manual vacation rental industry. The interest and attention that this CC0 model will generate within these industries will serve as the ideal platform for spreading the culture and values of Nouns.
## **9. Risks & Considerations ⌐◧-◧**
We are enthusiastic members of the Nouns community and, as Noun owner, strongly resonate with the vision of Nouns. We believe that the Nouns model holds innovative power in asset management and vacation rental fields. This decentralized, community-led governance model has the potential to offer new approaches in asset sharing and feels like the ideal way to manage assets in a decentralized manner. On the other hand, there are some risks considered in achieving the vision of this project:
1. **Regulatory Risk**: Operating within a decentralized framework could potentially make the project subject to regulations. Compliance with local laws is crucial.
2. **Technical Risk**: The integration of blockchain technology with physical assets like real estate presents several challenges. The implementation of smart contracts to manage the property must be executed flawlessly.
3. **Community Engagement**: The strength of a DAO lies in its community. For long-term success, it's important to maintain community engagement and participation in governance.
By acknowledging these risks and proactively addressing them, we aim for the success of the Nouns House project.nouns-house-1---tokyo-jpn
