A residence in Obama City, Fukui Prefecture, for a family that runs a steel fabrication plant.

Inside, circulation was planned around a handmade Japanese-style room composed of steel frames on the ground floor. Steel furniture and staircases crafted by the family add richness and character throughout, making this a delightful home.
