From the architect:

This house is located in a quiet residential area of Nagasaki Prefecture. The M4-house, was designed on the concept that to achieve both the design and improvement of living environment while ensuring the privacy and security performance.

Appearance was aimed at those with a sense of rhythm as the entire image and overlay architecture from various directions. The fine-tune the position of the wall and the height of the eaves of the house, it was to have a three-dimensional sense of architecture. It created a natural texture of the wood and green space in the courtyard to protect the privacy of the family, we plan to terrace to connect the living and nature.

To spread to the entire house from the courtyard, and the ceiling of the living, by using plenty of red cedar on the outer wall, and made a space such plans to be integrated more and living nature of the courtyard.

Thermal insulation performance of housing, of course, paint and building materials also stick to natural materials, family living in the house, I designed the aim of friendly living environment especially in children.

A Statement of Solidarity

Our hearts are broken by the horrific terrorist attack that occurred in Sydney last Sunday evening, where 16 innocent lives were taken during a Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach.

We stand in absolute solidarity with the Jewish community in Australia and around the world. This was an act of pure hatred, designed to terrorize and divide.

We unequivocally condemn all forms of racism, antisemitism, and religious intolerance. We condemn the radical extremism that drives such unconscionable violence. We condemn those who would target people for their faith, their heritage, or their identity.

In Australia and everywhere in the world, there is no place for this hatred. There is no justification for this violence. There is no tolerance for this evil.

To our Jewish friends and neighbors: we see you, we stand with you, and we grieve with you.

May the memories of those lost be a blessing.
