This two-story wooden residence in Kiryu, Gunma, occupies a unique L-shaped lot with two street frontages. By positioning the house centrally to separate the parking from the garden, the design aligns all primary living spaces to the south, featuring a window nook that offers quiet views of the greenery. The plan fosters a lifestyle integrated with an evolving garden, while the materials and color palettes were meticulously balanced to harmonize the client’s antique collection with newly curated lighting.
