IN HARMONY WITH NATURE
This house in Toyama has been transformed into a versatile compound used as a guesthouse, assembly point, or intimate getaway. Inspired by the Hokuriku tradition, the open core is reminiscent of a welcoming garden, the airy expanse full of light. History and innovation blend traditional scaling and upcycled timber in ample daylight, adaptive thermal compartments, and sliding doors, so that time, tradition, and contemporary convenience are blurred in architectural harmony.
