- A dwelling is a place of healing where one is freed from external stresses. To feel the seasons in the passing breeze and the shifting light, to notice the blueness of the sky—that is to realize a rich space that works on the inhabitant’s sensibility in everyday life.
At the same time, I believe it is important to have a generosity that envelops the whole of daily life and activates the activities that take place there. I also aim to create spaces that renew not only the inhabitant’s perception but my own as well.
I hope this project will become a venue for new experiments for me. If possible, I would like everyone to share and enjoy each step of that process together. - Location: Room 902, Famille Kamichoja-machi, 22-9, 2-chome Shimoru, Kamichoja-machi, Higashihorikawa-dori, Kamigyo-ku, Kyoto, Kyoto Prefecture, Japan
