This custom-built home, completed in December 2008 and designed by Ando Architectural Design Studio, is a wooden two-story building located in Nagano City, Nagano Prefecture. Spanning 109.06 square meters (32.99 tsubo), the house captures the essence of traditional Japanese architecture with a quiet, calming atmosphere reminiscent of old-style Japanese homes.
The design emphasizes simplicity and elegance, using natural materials to create a space that feels both authentic and serene.

This home combines traditional design with modern comfort, offering a peaceful retreat in harmony with nature.
