Akiya Houses.

Akiya simply means abandoned or vacant houses in rural areas of Japan. The type and condition of these houses varies drastically depending on each property. They can come at a surprisingly low cost but usually require many times more money to repair and maintain.

The Modern House Magazine No.6.

Our homes and the spaces we occupy are markers in our lives – of where we are going, where we came from and where we are now. They can transport us, mark the end and beginning of chapters, and be places we escape to. Issue No.6 explores homes as waypoints in our journeys through life.

Lovers of stationery rejoice! Our friends over at Present & Correct have just moved into their new shop in Bloomsbury, London. It's a showcase for the things they have enjoyed since school. A long-term obsession with stationery has culminated in a constantly evolving store. Paper and office objects which are inspired by homework, the post office and school.

House with Membrane Roof.

House with Membrane Roof is a private residence located in a dense residential area in Tokyo. Since this site condition restricts from having large openings in the exterior walls, light is brought in from above. The membrane roof brings soft diffused light into the second floor and the atrium carries the light down to the ground floor.
