Residence has a blend of Paris-style
and Japanese-style in Kamakura-area.

We blend a traditional Japanese home with a Parisian residence. A team of architects trained in Paris and working in Kamakura spent over 700 hours diligently designing the building. Our project is limited to the Kamakura/Zushi/Hayama area because we cannot design many at once. With the same sincerity as designing a precious cottage, we design a residence that will be loved by both the owner and the local community.

    3.Experience in Kamakura, Zushi and Hayama

    The Kamakura, Zushi, and Hayama areas are difficult areas to design. We have accumulated expertise in solving architectural problems such as height differences, salt damage, humidity, and regulations without resorting to aggressive methods. This wealth of experience allows us to provide optimal solutions to the difficult architectural conditions unique to these areas.

    4.On-site supervision in close proximity

    We value careful on-site supervision. Therefore, we have limited our design area to Kamakura, Zushi, and Hayama so that we can visit construction sites frequently. The trust we have developed with local constructor and craftsmen through our frequent site visits has resulted in a high quality site environment.
