Houses

This house for a young couple with small children is located in a quiet residential area near a station.

Fuji, a symbol of Japan, and we planned to make the most of the site's spectacular views.

It is a proposal for living in the city center with both privacy and openness. Walled columns and beamless floor plates ensure a free floor plan and open views.

We tried to create a space where people help each other and create a family circle.

The building is designed to harmonize with the surroundings by setting back the floors.

We connected a wooden deck, continuing with the yard, to create a refreshable place.

We adopted external thermal insulation air-conditioning throughout the entire house

We aimed to express Japanese traditions while using modern materials and construction methods, and to create a base for the inheritance and development of history.

The concept of this house was to take these beautiful natural features and apply it to the house.

Under the theme of "Dialogue of Gaze," we tried to compose a space for family interaction and a comfortable place for contemplation and rest with natural connections.

The green screen is used to create a comfortable continuity with the street and the houses facing it, while gently blocking the line of sight.

We used as much wood from the old house as possible, with elaborate measuring and planning.

A glass corridor connects the private north wing and the public south wing, ensuring both good communication and privacy among family members.

It is an urban style house with adequate ventilation and captures sunlight from the skylight.

This is a house with a practice stage for Japanese traditional musical, Noh.

The furniture and interiors all match together, with old fashioned decors, to make the art blend in with the inner space.

The space is continuous to the outside as it is, with a tree-planting strip around the perimeter, especially at the corner, which is wide and visually liberating.

The plan takes advantage of the difference in elevation between the street and the site, with each room level becoming a private and community space while skipping and connecting with the others.
