Nakano House / KUMA & ELSA

Miwa Negoro — Mon, 22 Jun 2026 02:00:00 +0000

The client's childhood home, a traditional Japanese house, has an engawa - a gallery open to the garden. There, she was immersed in the scent of fresh grass, the fragrances of the seasons, and even the smells drifting from his neighbors' kitchens. The wish was to recreate that memory, this time in an apartment fifteen meters above the ground. We therefore imagined a house open to the sky.

Obstetrics in Nanakuma / Yoshitaka Suzuki and Associates

Miwa Negoro — Sun, 12 Apr 2026 21:00:00 +0000

An obstetrics facility in an urban area. Here, we combined the methods listed below to attempt to create a kind of "geography"—a sequence of diverse atmospheres and environments that evoke the sensation of walking through the terrain or the city streets. Through these elements, we aimed to create a place where visitors and residents feel at ease, liberated, comfortable, and supported, with a sense of discovery.

House in Fukumasu / Tatsunori Kakuno/ tatta architects

Miwa Negoro — Sun, 09 Nov 2025 17:00:00 +0000

Set in a quiet residential area, the building was designed with an open space at the opening, with an axis running from there to the approach as the layout plan. A roof with east-west eaves emphasizes this axis. The roof itself was designed with consideration for sunlight reaching the house on the north side, with two roofs of different heights, the north roof being lower.

Hana Abdel — Thu, 29 Aug 2024 00:00:00 +0000

This residence is designed for a couple and their child. The site is situated in a residential area carved into the mid-slope of a mountain. The eastern side of the site faces a cliff, offering distant views of the mountains and a panoramic vista of the town below. It is also located in a region with a close-knit community. Given the client's desire to leverage the site’s natural surroundings, the design was focused on creating a building that allows for enjoying the views while fostering positive relationships with the neighbors.

MONOCHROME in Fukuoka Residential Complex / SAKO Architects

Hana Abdel — Tue, 07 May 2024 20:00:00 +0000

Privacy and Curtains - Located just a three-minute walk from a subway station in a commercial area dense with mid-to-high-rise buildings, this residential complex is built. Standardized apartment layouts in the real estate market are repeatedly used regardless of the surrounding environment. As a result, in places where it is difficult to secure privacy, curtains remain closed day and night. The continuity between the interior spaces and the balconies is compromised, undermining the spatial role of the balconies.

Blue Bottle Coffee Fukuoka Tenjin / CASE-REAL

Hana Abdel — Sun, 14 Apr 2024 19:00:00 +0000

Interior design plan for the Blue Bottle Coffee Fukuoka Tenjin Cafe, which marks its first branch in the Kyushu region. The planned location is a distinct one in the Tenjin area of Fukuoka city, situated within the precincts of the Kego Shrine. While one side of the cafe faces a busy street with heavy traffic, the opposite side opens onto the approach to the shrine, surrounded by moderate greenery and a tranquil atmosphere contrasting with the busy environment of the city. Given this contrasting setting, we naturally envisioned the cafe as a nexus connecting the opposing elements of "city" and "shrine."

Ohori Terrace Teahouse and Garden / Rhythmdesign

Hana Abdel — Fri, 09 Jun 2023 18:00:00 +0000

A wooden building that harmonizes with Ohori Park’s abundant nature so you can enjoy its view. In our minds, realizing this vision would require a clean structure. Conventional Japanese architecture uses many materials, so there is a tendency for all that visual information to dominate the field of view. However, by fusing cutting-edge lumber technology with traditional Japanese woodworking, we were able to create a simple structure using no metal at all. Building upon existing values to manifest new ones, as it should be. A space where you can take in the scenery of Ohori Park in its natural light enveloped in the fragrance of fresh wood.

Flat Renovation in Sakurazaka / ICADA + Masaaki Iwamoto Laboratory

Hana Abdel — Tue, 16 May 2023 01:00:00 +0000

The project is a flat renovation of a 30-year-old apartment in Fukuoka City, Japan, a home for myself, my wife and our two children. By using movable bookcases as partitions of the bedrooms, I designed a house where the space expands and contracts as the form of the family changes. In postwar Japan, Most of the flat units were designed for nuclear families of a parent and children, with the living room, dining room, parents' room, kid room, kitchen, and bathroom squeezed into a small rectangle of around 80 square meters. What you see here is a one-to-one correspondence between the family form and the floor plan.

Sky Vessel House / NKS2 Architects

Hana Abdel — Thu, 11 May 2023 02:00:00 +0000

This is a house for a couple living in a suburban residential area. Although the couple's living space was important, they also needed a spacious interior capable of accommodating a large number of guests, as the clients often entertained visitors related to their work or hobbies. An open and spacious garden was also desired to accommodate parties and other events.

KGM2 House / micelle

Hana Abdel — Tue, 06 Dec 2022 18:00:00 +0000

A project to rebuild a residence on a dark site on a northern slope into a residence for the working of ceramics in a hut. Considering the client's request for a 'fortress-like hut' to protect his creation and life from outdoor obstacles (noise that interferes with work, glare and reflections, thermal environment, unnecessary visitors, etc.), the concept was based on a membrane that selectively takes in the outside.

STAGE1 KEGO Commercial Building / CASE-REAL

Hana Abdel — Tue, 27 Sep 2022 22:00:00 +0000

A new tenant building project in the center of Fukuoka. The area surrounding the planned site is a commercial district with a mix of restaurants, general merchandise stores, and parking lots. The client approached us to consider an appropriate building for a compact site of approximately 72sqm in a corner of this commercial area. The client’s wish was to have attractive tenant access to this location. After repeated discussions, we settled on a low-rise building of high quality, rather than a towering high-rise. Furthermore, in addition to creating the right impression on the exterior, providing a space where tenants can easily compose attractive plans was considered important for the quality and appeal of the building.

Arts & Science Store / CASE-REAL

OMA’s only built project in Japan up until 2012 can be found in Fukuoka. The Nexus World Housing complex was completed more than twenty-five years ago.
