A Kamakura home designed for an international couple by local architect Hitoshi Saruta of CUBO Design Architect balances contemporary architecture with a traditional Japanese approach
The beautiful Japanese seaside town of Kamakura is known for its rich history and scenic location, offering views from the Shonan coastline to the iconic peak of Mount Fuji. A hilltop spot here can ensure some great, privileged vistas and an ideal perch from which to admire the Japanese culture and countryside; as the international owners of a new house, entitled T3, discovered, when they decided to build their Kamakura home.
The house, which maintains a simple and fairly closed off street-facing front, highlighting privacy, slowly unfolds as the visitor walks in, and opens up entirely towards the rear of the plot and a carefully designed garden, complete with planting and rock arrangements.
