Swallow House is a minimalist house located in Kyoto, Japan, designed by UZU. The home was rebuilt due to the client’s desire to move back to his old hometown. The residence is located on a sloping street where the client would spend most of his time playing as a child. designed the floors and passages to restore the geographical features, and the exterior of the house appears like a shadow in the town that melts into the environment because of its connection to it.
