2m26, an architecture studio based in Kyoto, has designed a sustainable wooden sheep house named 'Hitsujigoya' using local materials like rice straws, bamboo nets, and natural cypress logs. The structure features traditional roofing made of rice straws sewn to bamboo nets, topped with cedar leaves and bark that aid in soil stability. Additionally, iris flowers are included to strengthen soil against erosion. The construction relies on hand-building methods due to limited access, aligning with traditional Japanese carpentry practices, culminating in a functional design for shepherding sheep that opens wide for easy access.
