House of Hikari — A Compactly Expanding Home for the Child‑Rearing Generation｜Tokuhiro Norimatsu Architect

The initial meeting was with a family accompanied by a six‑month‑old boy.
We created a home that grows together with the child.
A through doma connecting the entrance and the parking area within the building also links to the laundry, washbasin/vanity, and bath.
A south garden and a small courtyard—two gardens with different characters—bring depth and movement to daily life.
The result is a compactly unfolding home that feels close to the outdoors.
