TATEYAMA TALES
This home in the foothills of Tateyama combines creativity and sustainability with tradition, heritage, and legacy. Centred on an ancestral zelkova pillar, personal narratives, respect, and comfort are built into the design, and, blending Buddhist and Christian metaphors, the zelkova and cross-shaped pillars symbolise pan-Asian peace.
