Introducing Circular Courtyard, an architectural photo of a custom-built home by Troom, a Architect / Design office in 1-19-10-203 Seijo, Setagaya-ku, Tokyo

A living room with large openings that bring in panoramic views. Beyond the large opening to the north, the circular courtyard, the wooded cliffside, and distant mountain views unfold. Although the site is like a tray atop a small hill, a residential area spreads out immediately below. The planting and arbor were carefully positioned so that the surrounding houses cannot be seen from the courtyard or the LDK. Inside, subdued materials such as dark split-faced granite and walnut were selected, allowing the eye to be naturally drawn to the timber roof, which continues outward as a mono-pitched roof, and to the views through the large openings.
