SEKI House, designed by SAI Architectural Design Office in Toyono-cho, Osaka, is a 99-square-meter home that redefines suburban living by seamlessly connecting the residential environment with the surrounding forest. Through two offset volumes separated by a central open space and unified under a large floating roof, the house invites natural elements like wind and light while promoting community interaction. Its flexible design allows it to function as a private residence, social space, or even a small commercial venue, making it a thoughtful response to evolving lifestyles and the need for multipurpose living environments.
