「adzuki」
This compact three-story residence is located on an 82m2 lot bordered by roads on three sides. All the rooms look out on a courtyard planted with trees, bringing a sense of the changing seasons to the interior of the house.
Even the bath has a large fixed window that allows bathers to enjoy the green of the trees outside. The white of the courtyard walls can be glimpsed here and there through the large windows in the adzuki-bean-colored exterior, giving a sense of depth to the house despite its compact design.

「ICHIMATSU　HOUSE」
We used lightweight and weather-resistant aluminum siding for the exterior finish of this residence, attached in a checkerboard pattern based on the standardized sizing of the material. The second floor balcony is designed as a semi-outdoor space that can be used to expand the child's bedroom in the future. The bit of blue sky visible through the balcony skylight is something for the residents alone to enjoy - their own private piece of sky. Through the combination of simple shapes, we brought an understated element of interest to each living space in this home.

「香芝の家／House in Kashiba」
The clients for this project requested a bath from which they could gaze out on a courtyard. We planted a "symbol tree" in the courtyard and designed the bathroom to look out over it. The courtyard brings light and breezes into the bathroom and kitchen/living/dining room while maintaining privacy for those inside.
The exterior is a black box with square windows on the southern side. The windows provide an accent to the facade while also gently linking the exterior and interior of the house.
