Jonoya by Masakazu Tsujibayashi Is Anything But Ordinary

"All architecture is a dance between the public and the private. The things we choose to show, and the things we keep to ourselves - usually quite telling."

"Inside, interiors are bathed in warm wood, an ode to the natural undulations and growth patterns divined by nature. Large skylights add a beautiful brilliance to the wood."

"This grand staircase is the axis on which Jonoya House turns - bathed in light, and accented by an almost completely mirrored wall, the staircase echoes the simplicity and clear craftsmanship that extends throughout the project."

"The simple facade belies the depth of interiority underneath, light and privacy two central tenets of the design."
