Amami House Residence

Architecture

Located on Amami Oshima, a hot, humid, and relatively sunless region in Japan, this self-sufficient house explores how a family of four can live comfortably without relying on the power grid or air conditioning. Rooted in the island's climate and culture, it reinterprets vernacular forms through passive strategies, natural ventilation, daylighting and insulation reducing dependence on mechanical systems. The project proposes a sustainable model of living in harmony with nature, offering a quiet reflection on how architecture can nurture resilience and redefine dwelling in today's world.
