Nomura Koumuten Model House

This house is designed for a young family, balancing living and working in a flexible, nature-connected space. The building stretches lengthwise to the west, opening a generous garden to the east. A simple wooden structure creates a versatile framework for the evolving rhythms of modern life. Interiors unfold sequentially, with each space maintaining a constant relationship to the garden. Large windows frame the greenery, while south-facing skylights bring natural light deep into the home. Half house, half garden—the design offers places for relaxation, work, and play. Parents can work remotely in comfort, while children discover hidden corners indoors and out. The house becomes not only a dwelling, but also a landscape for growth, exploration, and modern living.
