a Kyomachiya to enjoy wood and greenery MOMO HOUSE Project.01
A Kyomachiya woven with the warmth of wood and the lush greenery of the garden,
built with timber that has grown in Kyoto and adapted to its climate.
Soft light streaming through the windows, the sound of the wind…
this is a home that enriches all five senses.
This house, set at the end of a private pathway, allows you to relax in peace without concern for prying eyes. While featuring a spacious garden and large windows, it maintains privacy, offering a secure and tranquil living environment.
The large windows open up to a green garden, bringing tranquility into daily life. The soft greens of budding leaves in spring, the dappled shade created by the summer sunlight filtering through the trees, the rich gradation of autumn foliage, and the snow-covered garden in winter - all of these seasonal transitions can be enjoyed at home.
PLAN
The 17-mat-sized living room features an abundance of natural wood in the ceiling and flooring, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The surrounding garden and large windows allow ample natural light to flood in, making the space feel even more expansive.
Additionally, the house includes well-planned storage spaces and a loft, allowing for a clean and clutter-free living area.
POINTproperty features
A home renovated with Kyoto-grown wood,
adorned with traditional crafts
This property incorporates Kyoto-grown wood as part of its construction materials. Kyoto timber not only supports local forestry and reduces environmental impact but is also well-suited to Kyoto’s climate, contributing to a durable and comfortable home.
As part of our commitment to promoting the value of Kyoto wood, we have launched the "MOMO HOUSE" project, which focuses on local production and consumption in homebuilding.
Great care has also been taken in the interior design, incorporating traditional crafts as accent pieces. The beauty and warmth of Kyoto’s traditional craftsmanship can be felt in everyday life.
Kyoto-Grown Wood
The pillars and flooring incorporate Kyoto-grown wood, a key aspect of the MOMO HOUSE project, which promotes local production and consumption. Kyoto timber, having grown in Kyoto’s climate, is considered an ideal material for a long-lasting home suited to the region’s weather conditions.
Karakami Fusuma doors
The striking Momiji (maple) pattern on the fusuma is made using Kyoto Karakami, a traditional form of decorative paper. Originally introduced from China during the Heian period, Karakami is a washi-based artform featuring intricate motifs crafted through various techniques. Its distinct texture enhances the elegance of the space while bringing a sense of calm to those who admire it.
Craft Silk Glass Fixtures
The living room and bathroom doors are fitted with silk glass, an elegant material that not only enhances the aesthetics of the space but also provides a delicate balance between light diffusion and privacy, ensuring bright yet discreet areas.
