この白を基調としたシンプルで洗練されたデザインの住宅の外観は無駄を省いたミニマルな北欧風の美しさが特徴的です。 周囲の自然や街並みに調和しながらも独自の存在感を放っています。 玄関アプローチから玄関ホールまで続くタイルの壁が上品で温かな雰囲気を演出し 屋内へと自然に導く動線が心地よさを生み出し家族や来客を温かく迎え入れます。 窓の数はあえて控えめにしプライバシーを重視しつつも採光に工夫を凝らして室内は常に明るさと開放感を感じられる設計になっています。 リビングには柔らかな光が差し込み季節に関係なく家全体に温もりを感じられる空間に 仕上げられています。居心地良さを生み出し静かな安らぎと洗練された上質感を併せ持つ住宅です。
