Here is what the page “Sugi House in Kyoto by Ujizono Architects: A Subtle Rearranging of Traditional Spaces” contains. In Kyoto, a city known for its traditional machiya townhouses, Japanese studio Ujizono Architects has completed Sugi House, a residence that reinterprets familiar spatial patterns. Co-founders Kazuki Ujigawa and Mirai Ozono designed the home to subtly rearrange the form of typical east Kyoto dwellings, creating a contrast between an enclosed ground floor and an expansive upper level. The upper floor features an open living space sheltered by a gabled ceiling, with clerestory windows that flood the interior with natural light.
This approach preserves the sense of enclosure and privacy often found in Kyoto homes while introducing a bright, airy communal area. The project demonstrates how contemporary architecture can respect local tradition without imitation. For design enthusiasts and homeowners, Sugi House offers a fresh perspective on adapting vernacular forms to modern lifestyles.
