Modern Townhouse in Higashiyama, Kyoto
This property, located in the Higashiyama-Ima Kumano area, offers a residence surrounded by trees and abundant nature. The design focuses on creating comfortable spaces that integrate natural light and breezes. A top light allows ample sunlight to pour into the living area, while warm winds from the garden flow through the home, allowing residents to feel close to nature.
The property includes a traditional Japanese-style room with tatami flooring, characteristic of a machiya. The entrance and engawa feature carpets that are gentle on bare feet. A small step on the engawa provides a spot to sit and view the garden. The second floor features a Western-style room that can be flexibly divided into two sections using a walk-through closet as a passageway, allowing the layout to adapt to changing lifestyle needs or family composition, such as creating separate study spaces for teleworking or individual rooms for children. A large closet is also available for storage.
