Suashi no Ie – A House in Harmony with Nature - In 2021, Sobokuya embarked on a project to create Suashi no Ie, an eco-regenerative home that embodies the owner's sustainable lifestyle. Nestled at the foot of Mount Yatsugatake, the house is a blend of traditional Japanese craftsmanship and modern regenerative living. The name "Suashi no Ie" (Barefoot House) reflects the owner's lifestyle, which greatly revolves around walking barefoot. This passion for connecting with the earth influenced the choice of materials - we aimed to create a natural, comfortable feel underfoot throughout the house.

Located at the foot of the Yatsugatake Mountain range, our design office is a harmonious blend of traditional Japanese architecture and modern design inspired by the serene view of Mt. Fuji and the cherry blossoms. Envisioned as a space where one can sit on tatami mats and work while enjoying the breath-taking natural scenery, this building is designed with thoughtfully placed desks and bookshelves. Large windows and skylights flood the interior with natural light, minimizing the need for artificial lighting and creating a contemporary yet serene atmosphere.
