A Serene Japanese Home with Garden Views | Window Seat & Tatami Retreat

A quiet, beautiful home built by the lake for a couple to spend their days together.

Through the large windows, soft light and lush greenery fill the space.
The gentle connection between the indoors, the garden, and the lake beyond allows you to feel the changing seasons close at hand, even while staying inside.

Designed by architect Satoshi Irei.
By creating a spacious garden on the north side facing the lake, he designed a modest yet stunning home that seamlessly blends into the surrounding landscape.

The garden, crafted by landscape designer Toshiya Ogino, was planned to echo the local vegetation and lakeside red pines, gracefully merging with the scenery of the lake.

Enjoy a living room with a cozy wood stove, a built-in window bench to linger by, and calm, natural materials and colors throughout.

The detached tatami room offers an extraordinary escape—a serene space to savor quiet moments and unique views.

I hope you enjoy this beautifully detailed space and the peaceful flow of time within it.
