Persimmon Tree House

Himeji, Hyōgo, Japan

The Persimmon Tree House seamlessly blends modern and traditional design elements, utilizing stones from the surrounding area and incorporating yakisugi siding to match the traditional houses in the village. Architect Mr. Horiuchi grew up in a town with old buildings and chose yakisugi for his own home, which he designed to be part of the surrounding community. The Nagamori Architect Design Office philosophy is to create buildings that fit in with their surroundings, and the homeowner plans to let the natural patina of the siding age, just like the other traditional houses in the area. The 300-year-old persimmon tree was also preserved.
