The experiential quality of this one story house is obvious in the way illumination matters to the spatiality. Designed on a 9.1 m square footprint based on the Japanese (910 mm) module for timber structures, its plan is accentuated with tall windows at each of its corners. The placement of these four light catchers delivers celestial light into the interior bouncing off the perimeter walls, while guaranteeing the inhabitant’s privacy. The central roof light works as a pointer in space, making time felt. A plan flexible in use while sensitive in its lay-out to Japanese design princples.

Our design approach is centred on the research into the relation between People, Object and Space, from which a specific design strategy emerges for each project. Built results show our thoroughly contemporary design language, with recurring themes such as lightness, transparency, continuous flow of space and trueness to the nature of the materials used. The aim is to create well-crafted, richly varied environments that are responsive to the needs of its occupiers and result in intricate spatial experiences.
