Copper Rhythms
Along Yuigahama-dori in Kamakura, this apartment building reconciles the precision of prefabrication with the warmth of craft. Standardised steel modules form its core, while handmade copper screens veil the façade—introducing tactility, imperfection, and time. The screens shift with light, sea breeze, and weather, developing a patina that echoes Kamakura’s layered landscape. Through the copper lattice, traces of balcony life remain visible, while the space between screen and wall becomes an intimate threshold—a deep, inhabitable window. On the ground floor, a restaurant evokes a universe enclosed within architecture, softly veiled like a mosquito net.
