Design is an act that can enrich the heart. Japanese architect Tesaki Hoshigeshi regards architecture as a symbol of culture and craftsmanship, in his view, Japanese culture is born in repeated destruction and reconstruction, so durability and sustainability are the core of design, and only the space that continues to grow can adapt to the pace of rapid development.
Since founding Tematsu Teshima In 1998, Tematsu Tsuyoshi Tsuneyoshi has won numerous awards for his works such as Ibe Ande and Tesaki Tsuneyoshi, and has become a part-time lecturer at Kanto Gakuin University.

Funabashi House
Chiba Prefecture, Japan
The consignor of the Funabari family is a camping-loving couple who want the residence to include a large garage with a terrace and a Japanese-style space to enjoy the tea ceremony. The final floor plan complied with their requirements, with Teshima placing the residential space and the garage on either side through a "U" shaped layout, maintaining relative independence.
The corridor connecting the left and right blocks is combined with the garden, and the lush courtyard landscape makes the transition of the space softer. The living spaces and terraces are concentrated on the second floor of the residence, and the wooden tone blends the traditional Japanese atmosphere into the modern reinforced concrete structure, combined with the large windows that connect with the garden, bringing a natural and comfortable living experience.
