Nakai Residence

This 10-story condominium with a total of 56 units is located in a quiet residential area in Kokurakita Ward. The exterior pillar-and-beam structure is outframed and inverted, and the balcony handrail waist wall is made of beams to ensure a sense of openness and a view in each unit. The outframe expresses a towering strength, and the contrasting material is a combination of gentle sand beige and grayish tiles. The contrast of light and shadow on the exterior walls creates a dynamic and modern impression. In the entrance lounge of the interior space, the four-seasonal garden outside oozes into the interior, and the entrance lounge becomes one with the garden by sliding the full-height horizontal sash windows on one wall.
