House and Office in Hokusetsu places a family home and workplace along a tree-lined avenue in Osaka, Japan, under the direction of Fujiwaramuro Architects.

Inside, exposed concrete and filtered light shape a calm yet engaged urban setting.

Within this lifted volume, a quiet holiday routine meets the calm of the woods.
