A House That Remembers is conceived beside a 200-year-old wada belonging to the client’s family, where memory becomes an active part of everyday life. Rather than standing apart from the old structure, the new house positions itself in quiet dialogue with it. The common spaces of the house open toward the historic facade, allowing the wada to become a borrowed landscape within the new intervention.

The project explores continuity across generations through thresholds, views, and shared open spaces. The old wada is not treated as a backdrop or relic, but as a living presence that anchors the spatial and emotional experience of the house. Framed through courts and openings, the architecture creates moments where past and present coexist, allowing the new home to inherit not only a site but also the memories embedded within it.

Drawings and pictures to be published soon
