FUWAKU

The main building, a registered tangible cultural property of Japan, and the new building, a separate living space, are separated by a deep eave approach, creating an appropriate distance between them.
The new building is a building that pursues "beauty of structure and use that attracts" from "evolution of tradition" of traditional technology and technique that breaks the stereotype of an anachronistic image of a palace carpenter's house.
And the harmony of the main building, the garden, and the access road will be an architecture that adds charm and richness to the local landscape.

In Japan, traditional techniques that have been passed down from generation to generation are on the decline, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to maintain the skills of traditional craftsmen.
As a temple carpenter and designer, he has participated in numerous architectural awards to convey the new possibilities of traditional techniques to young designers and builders by creating "attractive structural beauty" and "beauty of use" architecture based on the evolution of traditional techniques from the inheritance of traditional techniques.
