Architectural layout showcasing an open entrance hall, skylight, and traditional shoji-inspired shutters surrounding a central chestnut column.
This clean architectural ground floor plan reveals a thoughtfully designed Japanese modern residence that masterfully balances tradition and contemporary living. The dominant spatial feature is a generous entrance hall (doma) with a raised ceiling and a prominent chestnut column that serves as both structural support and a warm natural focal point. A large skylight above the dining area floods the central core with natural light, creating a bright and airy atmosphere. Two bedrooms are positioned on the upper portion of the plan, each accompanied by dedicated walk-in closets, while the toilet and washbasin are efficiently tucked near the entrance. The exterior features shoji-style flip-up shutters along the south facade and a meticulously landscaped garden containing a striking weeping podocarpus. The overall mood is tranquil, minimalist, and highly functional, perfectly suited for a design-conscious couple or small family seeking a serene contemporary home with strong Japanese design DNA.
