Entry Description

A home cannot exist without a connection to the sky. This house is designed with that mission, drawing from traditional Japanese townhouses (machiya) that integrate nature through central gardens. Modern homes focus on functionality, isolating themselves from the environment. On a narrow urban plot, this house incorporates a central courtyard that brings light and wind indoors. The changing light and shadows reflect a deep connection to nature, and with all rooms linked to the courtyard, the space expands both horizontally and vertically, offering the feeling of living within the sky itself.
