This is a house for a couple of French artist and Japanese wife who are based in Japan. The house is nestled quietly atop a hill in the historic Japanese city of Kamakura, a wonderfully scenic location overlooking the Shonan coastline, with distant views of Mount Fuji. A celebrated hallmark of Japanese sukiya architecture is the beauty of continuous eaves, which marry design with function to protect from rain and direct sunlight. We adapted the traditional design of these eaves in a modern way, maintaining their sharp, delicate beauty while boldly adopting new materials such as steel plate.
