Introducing A 'Japanese and Scandinavian' Residence Arranged on a Diagonal, a custom-built home example by AITOHUS Co., Ltd., a Construction company in 6-6-1 Otsukanishi, Asaminami Ward, Hiroshima City, Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan

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." Site area: 223.13 m² (66.89 tsubo)
Total floor area: 109.30 m² (33.06 tsubo)
