Award-winning architect Yasuyuki Kitamura unveils a private house design that harmonizes with nature in Minoh, Osaka, Japan, completed in April 2020.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Renowned architect Yasuyuki Kitamura presents "The Nature Gradation," a private house design that redefines the relationship between humans and nature. Located on the northern hill of Minoh City, Osaka, Japan, this project seamlessly integrates with the rich natural environment while offering a modern living space for a young couple.
The design features deep eaves and a light roof that extend the interior, creating an open plan space that blurs the boundaries between inside and outside. The house boasts large top lights and strategically placed openings that allow natural elements to permeate the living areas, fostering a sense of connection with the surrounding environment.
Constructed with a wooden frame, the building meets stringent earthquake resistance and insulation standards, ensuring both safety and comfort for its inhabitants. The design's innovative approach to balancing performance and cost sets a new standard for environmentally friendly housing in Japan.
