Introducing Main House and Detached Residence, a custom-built home example by Mochizuki Architectural Atelier, a Architect / Design office in 2-23-1-1248 Yoyogi, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo / 614 Katakura-cho, Hachioji-shi, Tokyo

Located in the suburbs of Tama, this project involved rebuilding a mixed-use residence with an attached pharmacy business operated by the previous generation. The site extends broadly from north to south. Initially, a courtyard-type integrated building was considered; however, due to geomantic considerations, the design was revised to separate the site into two buildings: the main house and the mixed-use residential and commercial building. As a result, this plan successfully maintains an appropriate balance between work and private life. The main house features a single-story hip roof with wide eaves, creating a dignified and substantial presence. In contrast, the commercial building employs a gable roof with the façade accentuated to achieve a light and dynamic design. The interior design incorporates natural materials, emphasizing a clean and warm spatial atmosphere. We hope that this locally rooted establishment will continue to contribute as one of the town’s distinctive charms. Tokyo Metropolis — Tama area; timber‑framed single‑storey and two‑storey buildings. Site area: 668.24 m². Gross floor area: 160.63 m² and 99.37 m².
