Niigata, Niigata, Japan

Nestled within a serene residential enclave stands an exceptional seven bedroom Japanese residence, an architectural masterpiece crafted by a Miyadaiku-a master temple carpenter whose skills embody centuries of refined tradition.
This home is a rare synthesis of artistry and philosophy, where timeless Japanese design meets graceful modern living. Constructed using the ancient Kigumi, joinery technique-eschewing nails in favor of intricately interlocked timber- it exudes both enduring strength and organic harmony. The fragrance of hinoki and cedar imbues the air with calm, while diffuse daylight, filtered through Shoji screens, paints an ever-changing rhythm of shadow and light, echoing the aesthetic of WabiSabi .
The expansive 7 rooms , Lounge , Dining and Kitchen layout offers an elegant interplay between spacious living areas and private retreats, each designed with thoughtful precision and a deep reverence for nature. Every detail, from handcrafted joinery to the soft flow between interior and garden spaces, reflects a devotion to beauty and balance rarely found in contemporary homes.
This residence is not merely a dwelling but a sanctuary-an invitation to experience serenity, craftsmanship, and spiritual repose in their purest form. A true work of living art, it offers a uniquely cultivated way of life for those who appreciate the confluence of tradition and refinement.
