Traditional architecture and notions of home inform modern Japanese house C4L by Hitoshi Saruta / CUBO design architect
as well as notions of home, designed by Hitoshi Saruta and his studio, CUBO design architect. Saruta and his team took their cues from Junichiro Tanizaki’s book on Japanese aesthetics,, which places an emphasis on 'materials and furnishings whose beauty and comfort can only be fully appreciated in the half-light of a traditional home', the team explain. 'In traditional Japanese homes, deep eaves linked the interior with the garden,' the architects continue.
The home's different areas are interwoven with courtyards, terraces and gardens, which create focal points, juxtaposing the subtly lit rooms within. The architects also worked with traditional artisans to craft a range of bespoke details and fittings that make for a textured, considerate approach. The tailor-made interiors showcase the work of craftspeople in sukiya carpentry, plaster, Japanese paper, mullions, braided chord, screens and doors, and lacquer.
'We believe houses that are rooted in an understanding of Japan’s cultural context and a respect for the skills and innovations of our ancestors, but which can nevertheless be passed on to future generations, are the kind of houses we should be building in Japan today,' the architects write. 'Our designs encapsulate this concept, offering Japanese-style luxury. Although our collaboration with world-class artisans in this project required much effort, it was deeply inspiring.
