It was built adjacent to the existing building, which is an old Japanese traditional wooden architectural style.Client used an existing traditional Japanese house as a villa, and built a new building next to it as a place for his own creative activities.We designed the Architecture to harmonize with this traditional architecture and nature. A contrast between traditional old wooden structures and modern, powerful structures made of concrete.
