The House in Minami-Senri, designed by FujiwaraMuro Architects, demonstrates how to transform a long and narrow plot into a poetic home.The design takes advantage of the sloping topography and incorporates traditional materials, embracing Japan's architectural DNA.The house features garden pockets that open up the interiors, integrating plants and providing breathing room without sacrificing privacy or space.Two small courtyards are used to create gentle transitions between social and private zones, offering moments of pause and natural light.
