Concept:

Nestled at the foot of Mount Iizuna (飯縄山, Iizuna-yama), this home is designed to blend seamlessly with the tranquil Satoyama and rural landscape of Nagano Prefecture. The surrounding countryside, with its ever-changing seasons, provides a soothing backdrop, creating a peaceful living environment that connects the indoors with nature.

Key Features:

Layout Plan: The layout plan utilizes the existing maple trees on the site, allowing the Satoyama landscape to be seamlessly integrated into the interior space.

Kitchen: The kitchen features a separate two-row layout with the sink and stove positioned apart, enabling the whole family to enjoy cooking together.

Inner Balcony: An inner balcony with sashes has been added, designed to be convenient for dual-income households, allowing clothes to be hung outside without getting wet from rain or snow.

Doma Space: A 6-tatami mat earthen floor space, connected to the entrance, has been arranged for families who love the outdoors.
