The House in Toguchi, designed by Sakai Architects, is located on the northern part of Amami Oshima Island, Japan. This two-story residence was created for a couple—a doctor and beautician—along with their three children and dog. The house is situated on a sloping site that overlooks the Pacific Ocean, blending into the natural landscape.
