"A timber house is a living entity that breathes with the forest."
Modern architecture has alienated humans from natural materials through petro-chemical insulation and toxic glues. We return to the living tree.
Material Honesty (木目)
We celebrate knots, annual grain rings, and natural surface variations. Wood is finished with non-toxic botanical tung oil and beeswax, never sealed under plastic polyurethanes.
Design for Disassembly (解体)
Because our joints are locked with wooden keys rather than toxic adhesives or metal nails, any structural member can be inspected, repaired, or dismantled cleanly 200 years from now.
Biophilic Longevity (健康)
Solid Hinoki cypress and Sugi cedar naturally release phytoncide aerosols that lower human sympathetic nervous system arousal and regulate indoor humidity between 45% and 55%.
Crafting architectural peace across generations.
When master carpenters construct a traditional Japanese temple or villa, they observe the direction the tree faced while growing in the mountain forest. South-facing trees are placed on the south wall of the house; north-facing trees are placed on the north.
By combining this intuitive botanical wisdom with German Passive House thermal envelope modeling and Swiss robotic 5-axis timber milling, we create homes that are thermally invincible yet emotionally gentle.
