House in Matsuyama

Text description provided by architect.

The architecture embraces the flowing inner garden. The trickle of water, quietly echoing through the family’s very own private garden. It’s a sensation of being out in the fields and mountains.

Particular attention was paid to creatively situating this interspace, purposely setting the location and height so that not everything is revealed, and using lattice blinds and screens creating layers while offering transparency, allowing the imagination to expand when taking in what lies beyond.

By closely linking the inner garden that expresses nature and the human home, the idea was to offer a lifestyle that enjoys every aspect of the changing seasons.
