A 'Japanese and Scandinavian' Residence Arranged on a Diagonal｜AITOHUS Co., Ltd.

House N, which evokes traditional Japanese architecture with features such as yakisugi (shou sugi ban) charred cedar exterior cladding, a deck with deep eaves reminiscent of an engawa, and an ornamental garden inspired by a mixed broadleaf woodland, has reached its ninth year and demonstrates the value of weathering unique to authentic materials.

This residence fuses the functions and performance cultivated in Scandinavia — a leader in advanced living environments — with Japan's ancient traditions, and has succeeded in finding a new direction for the future of "Japanese housing."
