Furumoto Architect Associates Co., Ltd.
By precisely identifying the conditions of culture, climate, and special features that are unique to each location, we fuse, reproduce, and synthesize elements of nature and environment such as light, water, wind, and plants with the proper materials that best suit that area. This allows the residents to feel the changing of the hours and seasons as part of their daily lives, creating a space that relaxes both the mind and body. This enhances the well-being of persons living in this space, promoting healthy and proper lifestyles, and generating enjoyable connections with society and culture. We aim to create a beautiful space that resonates in the human heart, a unique space which could be created in no other location.
With dignity appropriate to the shrine and modesty that does not interfere with the solemn atmosphere, this priest’s residence in the city will be inherited through many generations.
Covered by the inclined roof, this house is free from the bustle of city, is full of sound light and wind, and creates an expressive rich space.
