A stable entirely made of cypress and cedar using Japanese traditional joinery. Design and built by Kyoto-based architecture studio 2m26, Umagoya comprises a stable for two horses and storage space - a saddle room located in Keihoku, north mountain side of Kyoto city. The new construction integrates the property of an old Japanese folk dwelling. Around the main thatched roof house, a few outbuildings and a garden surrounded by soil walls enclose the site. Umagaoya takes part in this ensemble on both sides of a “KURA”, a traditional storage space made of thick soil walls.
