A COMFORTABLE JAPANESE HOME LIKE A FAMILIAR CLOTHES

Japanese houses have always incorporated nature into the home. They have also been built with the technique of a "tsuzukima," an open, expansive space divided by fusuma sliding doors and shoji screens. Old materials and fixtures were skillfully used to preserve the environment.
Based on this idea, we designed a house that allows light and wind to pass through comfortably and enjoys a variety of views.

The client says, "There are many places in my house that I like. I feel the Japanese comfort that I have been looking for in my daily life."
