“Sitting on tatami mats, working while enjoying the view of Mt. Fuji and the cherry blossoms.” That’s what we envisioned the moment we saw this land.
Located in the Yatsugatake mountain range, the office is surrounded by a splendid view of mountains and nature.
A round window frames Mount Fuji perfectly, creating the illusion of a painting.
From a bird's eye view, one can see that the roof, made from wood shingles with the hips being bamboo, which originally had a natural wooden colour has now taken on a darker tint.
A highlight of the building is the stone-field technique, where pillars are set on natural stone.
