Kawa to ie

A simple home blending modern architecture with Sobokuya’s taiko hariko craftsmanship ー a traditional technique known for its unique texture and durability.

The design priorities simplicity, usability, and comfort, with a focus on delicate finishing touches. To facilitate easy movement of items, the entrance and kitchen are connected by a single sliding door. The living room and free space were left open without partitions to allow for flexible use, accommodating future changes in the family structure.

We sincerely hope that this home will remain a place where the family can continue to find healing in the natural surroundings, including the small stream right in front of the house.

Taking into consideration the movement of items, the entrance and kitchen were connected with a single sliding wooden door. It might not just be a route for items but also a secret passage for small children.

As you enter the living room from the entrance, a large wooden door frames the view of a stream and forest, like a painting in a frame. On the deck, you can hear the stream and the chirping of birds, creating a space that can be endlessly enjoyed.
