House in Nagoya by Takashi Okuno & Associates is a compact urban residence designed around a central enclosed garden that becomes the heart of daily life. Built on a dense city site in Nagoya, the 136-square-meter home prioritizes privacy while maintaining a strong connection to nature through carefully framed views and controlled openings. The spatial layout allows each room to engage differently with the garden, creating varied atmospheres throughout the house. Natural light, refined detailing, and the extensive use of Japanese hinoki cypress define the interior, enhancing warmth and sensory comfort. The design demonstrates how thoughtful architecture can transform limited urban conditions into a calm, introspective living environment that balances enclosure and openness.
