Not far from Hiroshima, Japan, is Kure, a city with a mild climate and with modern, traditional trends, surrounded by historic buildings, a reliable port and beautiful surroundings.
For the visitors of the fascinating portal we present a house that was built in the rustic spirit on a hill.
The residence is made of natural stone: both the exterior walls and the roof. And also the structure boasts an irregular shape, which makes it quite unique and interesting from an architectural point of view.
The building has a charming view from the windows and a cozy stylish interior, inspiring and relaxing home environment that enhances the feeling of freedom and freshness. Even if you sit comfortably in the living room on the couch, you can admire the best view of the port, the sea and the sky.
Large rooms with sliding windows instead of walls allow the sun to fill the space with warmth and light.
The interior of the large, spacious rooms has a rustic feel to it, as everything is made of wood: the kitchen furniture, floors, stairs, and window frames.
The balance between the stone and wood is delicately maintained by the architects and there is no counterbalance of any dominant material.
