Living connected to nature, overlooking the garden from two sides｜AITOHUS Co., Ltd.

K residence, located in the tranquil rural landscapes of Akaiwa City, features lime-plaster exterior walls harmonized with unglazed clay roof tiles. Although the combined living, dining and kitchen area totals only about 21 tatami in size—just the space required—the interior provides a sense of openness and a relaxed, comfortable home for a family of four. By using partitions to screen views from the exterior, the residents can live without curtains.

By connecting both the living room and the dining room to the garden,
'while dining in the dining room'
'while relaxing in the living room'
they can casually gaze at the planting, which brings color and richness to everyday life.

As with the ancient Japanese concept that garden and house are one, a lifestyle in which garden and interior are connected evokes the spirit of wa and can be regarded as a luxurious feature unique to detached houses.
