Private Residence
Structure Type
A residence shaped by light, proportion, and centuries of quiet restraint.
“Light moves gently here — across wood, stone, and silence.”
Set within a quiet residential pocket of Kyoto, Lume is a contemporary private residence shaped by balance, proportion, and atmosphere. Designed around an internal courtyard, the home creates a seamless relationship between interior living and the natural rhythm of daylight.
Completed in 2019, the residence reflects a modern interpretation of traditional Japanese architecture — restrained in form, deliberate in material, and composed for long-term living rather than display.
