Homes Featuring Traditional Tea Rooms
A home with a tea room provides a quiet space for mindfulness, connecting with nature and seasons through the art of tea. Incorporating tatami mats, shoji screens, alcoves (tokonoma), and low entrances (nijiriguchi) creates quiet elegance through simple materials. Sightlines to gardens and stepping-stone paths (roji) elevate the journey to the tea room as much as the ceremony itself. Modern designs can adapt tea rooms into versatile Japanese-style retreat spaces. We introduce tea-ceremony homes that value quiet moments and seasonal appreciation.
House with an Engawa (Japanese Veranda)
A home with an engawa is the wisdom of Japanese housing where you can create a gentle boundary between the indoors and the garden and enjoy rich times going back and forth between inside and outside. It can give various roles in daily life, such as sitting and looking at the garden, reading books, or becoming a place for children to play. Combined with deep eaves, it blocks summer sunshine while letting in the breeze, and you can feel the presence of the outside even on rainy days. Connecting garden greenery and seasonal light indoors also brings you closer to nature. By incorporating a traditional engawa tailored to modern life, comfortable blank spaces are born inside and outside the house. This introduces a home with an engawa connecting the garden and indoors, where you can spend time feeling the signs of the four seasons close at hand.
