熊本・天草villa project Kumamoto・Kamiamakusa Project

In the mountains of Amakusa, Kumamoto Prefecture, we designed two villas that respond to the contrasting topography of the mid-slope and the summit.
Each villa is situated at a sufficient distance from the other, creating completely private spaces that do not interfere with one another.

With its simple gable roof and understated design, the building blends quietly into the landscape.
The deep eaves and strongly horizontal proportions echo the mountain ridges, creating a presence that feels like a natural part of the surroundings.

The interior space is characterized by the interplay of light and shadow created by the materials, and its arrangement selectively frames the surrounding landscape through the positioning and height of the openings.

Although these two villas offer different experiences, they both share the common value of providing a “quiet retreat.”
This project presents a new vision for the modern private villa, set amidst the rich natural surroundings of Amakusa.
