TIMELESS RESIDENCE

ARCHITECT: APOLLO ARCHITECTS & ASSOCIATES

BUNKYO

CITY, JAPAN

APOLLO-AA.JP

Defined by two courtyards, the main one features a bamboo grove that catches the eye once one enters it; as the living room, study, and bedrooms all face this courtyard, residents can enjoy outdoor time for as long as they please. The second, smaller courtyard is dotted with plants and serves as natural lighting for the house. The house also includes an attached roof balcony in the upstairs living room, giving residents the freedom to move about the house more comfortably.
