Whole-House Renovation

Complete full-home renovations reimagining old structures into modern, energy-efficient floor plans. Introducing full renovation residential examples.

Stylish Japanese-Style Rooms

This collection features residences incorporating modern Japanese-style rooms and elevated tatami corners. Showcasing guest rooms and relaxation spaces that harmoniously blend traditional design elements with contemporary aesthetics, these examples demonstrate a seamless integration of functionality and refined style in Japanese interiors.

From the living room, the south garden is connected through the Japanese-style room. The glass shoji and ranma transom remain as they were.
