Private House in Toyonaka is a minimalist home located in Osaka, Japan, designed by Sawada Hashimura. Sawada Hashimura is a Tokyo-based architectural practice founded by Wataru Sawada and Yuichi Hashimura. The basis of the studio is the fascination and faith for atmosphere created by physical construction with a thoughtful process. Our practice is intended to hold that quality and provoke dialogues between people and place. The home features a sloped roof with an array of slats along the ceiling, which creates the illusion of a more expansive space.
