House U

Interior

This residence, designed for a family running a wooden furniture business, transforms a 20-year-old reinforced concrete building into a space resembling a 'jubako', a Japanese tiered box. Each floor's carefully chosen flooring materials symbolize different tastes, reflecting the company's wood craftsmanship heritage. The design creates unique, comfortable spaces for both the family and the furniture, merging traditional and modern aesthetics. This approach makes the house a living gallery, showcasing the natural beauty of wood and the family's dedication to the craftmanship, blending their life and work harmoniously.
