PROJECTS

House in Shukugawa: intimacy and nature in an urban retreat

The House in Shukugawa is situated on a compact flag-shaped lot, nestled in the tranquil setting of Nishinomiya, in Hyogo prefecture. This house is located in a historic and charming residential area, adjacent to the Shukugawa River, famous for its spectacular cherry blossoms. However, the high population density and small lots typical of this area necessitated designing a house that would be a cozy retreat and separate from the surrounding buildings, thus creating an independent world.
