POINT01Living Room Embracing the Garden
The large sliding doors in the living room open up to provide an expansive view of the garden, blending the boundaries between the indoors and outdoors. By opening the windows and closing the screens, you can invite ample light and breeze into the house, creating a seamless integration with nature.
POINT02A Dining Room Where the Sky Comes Down
The skylight in the dining room, paired with blue-painted walls, creates an illusion of the sky descending into the space. The use of translucent acrylic for the skylight allows soft, diffused light to fill the room, reminiscent of clouds. This design feature brings natural brightness to areas where windows are difficult to place, enhancing the overall lightness of the home.
POINT03Unique Water Facilities
The custom-designed bathroom perfectly complements the property, with beautiful tiles that are meticulously laid out. The bathroom window facing the garden allows you to enjoy the garden view while soaking in the tub, together with a stylish and functional washbasin that makes daily routines feel like special moments.
FLOOR PLAN
As you walk down a narrow alley that bends at a right angle, you'll find a modern home characterized by white plaster walls and natural wood finishes. The entrance door, made of frosted glass, ensures privacy while allowing light to penetrate, brightening the otherwise dark alleyway.
Despite being a simple single-story house, it features a traditional Japanese room with Washi-papered walls, offering a flexible layout that can be adapted to suit the needs of its residents.
The garden, inspired by the nearby canal, can be enjoyed from both the living room and the bathroom, providing a sense of closeness to the changing seasons in daily life.
To ensure warmth during the long hours spent in the living room and kitchen, underfloor heating has been installed. This feature is particularly valuable in Sakyo Ward, where winters in Kyoto can be especially harsh.

AREA
Nestled at the base of the famous Gozan-Okuribi bonfire sites "Myo(妙)" and "Ho(法)", rich in the natural beauty that once thrived on agriculture.
Matsugasaki, once an agricultural area with an intricate network of waterways developed in the Edo period. With water drawing from the Takano River into the fields, both farm productivity and the quality of daily life have been enhanced. This network not only improved the living environment but also greatly influenced the town's landscape.
Just a short walk from the property is the Shirakawa Canal, a local hidden gem known for its beautiful cherry blossom trees. This canal stretches from Matsugasaki to the Philosopher's Path and Ginkakuji Temple (silver pavilion), making it a perfect spot for seasonal walks where you can even see fireflies in early summer.
The area around the property is highly livable, with several schools and a wide selection of supermarkets nearby. The establishment of the Kyoto International Conference Center and the extension of the subway have significantly enhanced the area's convenience, leading to an increase in residential areas and urbanization along Kitayama Street. Despite these modern developments, many pre-Taisho era farmhouse-style residences still stand, preserving the area's traditional charm. This blend of old and new makes Matsugasaki a unique and appealing place to live.
