Fuma

This house for a family of four stands along a railway line in Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan. To adapt to the site's exposure to train noise, vibrations, and flood risk, reinforced concrete was used. The second floor cantilevers 5.6m toward the street and 3.2m toward the parking area, allowing for single-story-style living on the second level within a three-story structure. Plants are placed throughout the architecture, such as in gardens and terraces, creating spaces where greenery and the built form intertwine, blending the home seamlessly with nature.

Hermes

Hermes features a modern design, with side windows and soft flowing lines. The side windows create a close connection with the surrounding environment, reflecting the water and natural light during the day, while at night they light up with perimeter led that enhance the silhouette. The slender shapes promote efficiency, while the soft lighting creates a warm, comfortable atmosphere, ensuring privacy and refinement. In the lower bow area there are two cabins equipped with beds for overnight stays. The upper part of the glass roof can be opened via an electrical system.
