Yuzo Osumi (OSUMI YUZO ARCHITECT OFFICE)

It was necessary to create a space for “entertain one’s guest” in addition to the living space. The space for people to live is in the form of a sturdy and generous “minka”. The space for welcoming people is in the form of a “sukiya” with the elegant and Intricately aesthetic design. The space for more intimate interaction is the “tea room” style, and these were arranged on the site. We are reinterpreting the shared approach of utilizing natural materials and craftsmanship in a modern context, crafting a “nostalgic yet new scene.”
