KOMAGOME DISTRICT



PROJECT HISTORY
Five story apartment building laid out to enhance the two streets of the neighborhood.
This project was done in a neighborhood of Komagome, not far from downtown Tokyo. The Emoto family who owned theland, and a building previously standing there -- asked us to build a new building, which would have about 20 small apartments, two or three of them for members of the family.




One private apartment with entrance at street level
