MACHIE HIGASHI KAWAGUCHI

This is a proposal for a residential community where "inner gardens" are integrated into each house. The inner gardens, enclosed by walls and openings, create a sense of hide-and-seek, with glimpses of the other side appearing and disappearing as you move. Through these gardens, residents' lives extend outdoors and connect with their neighbours. The variety of spaces, from lively gathering spots to quiet places for solitude, will become a direct part of the town's charm. The goal is to create a community that harmonizes living environments with diverse lifestyles and is designed for long-term sustainability.
