Noble House by APOLLO Architects & Associates and Satoshi Kurosaki is a 320-square-meter multigenerational home in Japan designed around a lush central garden. Surrounded by tall concrete walls for privacy, the house blends minimalist architecture with nature, preserving existing pine trees and integrating diverse plant life. The first floor accommodates the client’s mother with garden views, while the second floor, designed for the younger generation, features open terraces, skylights, and a courtyard that fill the interior with light and air. Created during the COVID-19 era, the home serves as a peaceful urban retreat that combines comfort, serenity, and connection to nature.
