The Break Residence / MU Architecture

Built on the shore of Lake Revdor in the Laurentians, the Break Residence reveals its different faces depending on whether it is discovered from the water or the ground. Encapsulating the idea of “home,” this luxurious residence aids in fulfilling a man’s wish to build his final home on the land of his ancestors. Opening itself up over three levels, this spacious home serves as a place of welcoming and gathering for the small community formed by the few neighboring houses.

IK Nursery / HIBINOSEKKEI + Youji no Shiro + Kids Design Labo

This is a nursery reconstructed on a sloping site in Mito, Ibaraki. For many years, the old building consisted of an insipid, flat playground and building with little connection, despite the surrounding terrain with elevation changes. The reconstruction was based on the concept of a nursery on the earth that nurtures children’s bodies and minds, with a varied playground that makes use of the difference in elevation of the surrounding terrain, and a building that is connected to the playground to encourage three-dimension play.
