Framing the Forest is a residence in Hokkaido, Japan, designed around a close relationship with the surrounding woodland landscape. A large window frames the forest as a living backdrop to everyday life, bringing seasonal changes deep into the home. Spaces for gathering, reading, and quiet retreat are arranged around this view, creating a variety of ways to experience nature throughout the day. The house seeks to enrich family life through light, warmth, and a continuous connection to the forest beyond.
