Inside a townhouse
The passage
As you walk through the front door, marvel at the sky-high ceiling and exposed wooden architecture above. This open space leads you into the kitchen and Japanese living room adorned in calming 'akane' red.
The tatami room
Gather with your guests in the living room, and admire the hand-woven 'ajiro-tenjo' wicker ceiling and look out onto your very own private 'tsuboniwa' garden.
