Three Courtyards, One Beautifully Balanced Japanese Home
Architects: arbol
Area: 81 m²

Country: Japan
Designed by arbol in 2018, House in Akashi is a compact 81-square-meter single-story home in Japan organized around three internal courtyards that structure daily life through light, air, and seasonal change. Rather than relying on conventional room divisions, the house is arranged into distinct zones connected by gardens that bring nature into every corner — from a tatami room and kitchen garden near the entrance to a central living space filled with soft daylight, and private rooms at the rear. With its inward-focused layout, carefully positioned openings, and tactile elements like a wood stove set on a traditional dirt floor, the home creates a calm, intimate environment that balances privacy with a strong connection to the outdoors.

素晴らしいですね。おめでとうございます。感謝申し上げます。
Beautiful home
Beautiful home but that is the worst placed fireplace ever
Qué belleza, que sencillez, que paz. La amé. Saludos desde México.
фигня получилась. занято много места, а места для жизни нет. В этом сарае не завести семью. Печь установленная на входе очень опасна. Слишком много ниш для растений, если пойдет снег, то завалит по крышу. Гостей в такой дом не пригласить.

Дом красивый,эстетичный,но кажется,пригоден только для определенного климата,хрупкий,уязвимый.Внутри кажется больше ,снаружи меньше,если это не отдельно стоящий дом где-то в лесу,то шума будет много.😊
I ❤ it!
