Summary
A House in Japan explores the home as a space where ideas of dwelling are constantly reimagined. In a culture shaped by precision and restraint, domestic projects become sites of quiet experimentation. These houses privilege clarity over excess, intent over display. Rigorous yet flexible, they adapt to daily rhythms while proposing fresh ways of living. The book reveals how Japanese homes, understated yet radical, show that even the everyday can be transformed into something unexpected.

Critics Review
“As well as opening a window onto lesser-known practices such as Takeshi Hosaka, Yuko Nagayama & Associates, Tan Yamanouchi & AWGL and IGArchitects, the book offers a chance to appreciate the blend of rigour and versatility in Japanese interior design: linearity rather than excess, and determination and consistency in stylistic choices rather than ostentation.”– “Domus Magazine”
