Shintaro Fujiwara House in Toyonaka Architecture
House in Toyonaka Architecture is Silver Design Award winner in 2019 - 2020 Architecture, Building and Structure Design Award Category.
House in Toyonaka Architecture

Located in a residential district in northern Osaka, this property is surrounded by closely packed houses and lacks any outstanding views. Due to the adjacent homes, maintaining privacy was of the utmost importance. The aim of the design was therefore to create a stimulating and beautiful space that nevertheless had no large windows and was closed to the outside world.
