Production Technology: The architecture is a modern interpretation of traditional palace carpentry techniques. The linearity and rhythm of the deep eaves and the wooden lattice covering the exterior walls, combined with the painted walls, provide a sense of calm and security. Inside, the six layers of latticework form a three-dimensional structure that, in combination with the painted walls, expresses the Japanese aesthetic of beauty of use and the charm of the structural beauty of woodwork.

The building is designed for residents to have a soothing, peaceful mind and comfortable environment with various specifications of traditional skills and craftsmanship, that you can enjoy with five senses. This project contributes to revitalize community and industries using local products.
Inspiration: This construction, an evolution of tradition, that changes the stereotype of an anachronistic image of residence, and results in conversion of traditional structural skills and craftsmanship including traditional method. While enjoying the aging process of exterior and interior materials as time goes by, main residence, garden and roads in the surroundings creates a harmony in landscape and adds charms of architecture.
Project Duration: The project started in April 2020 in Toyokawa City, Aichi, Japan and finished in August 2021
