House in Narutaki, designed by kooo architects, is a thoughtful renovation of a traditional Sukiya-style residence in Kyoto, Japan. Set within a lush hillside landscape, the project preserves the home's historical character while adapting it for contemporary living. Through carefully restored interiors, natural materials, handcrafted details, and a strong connection to the surrounding gardens, the design creates a seamless relationship between architecture and nature. The result is a serene home that honors traditional Japanese craftsmanship while providing a comfortable and timeless living environment for modern life.
