Mt. Funaoaka, located in Murasakino, Kita Ward of Kyoto City, has been revered as a sacred and pure land since ancient times. Adored by aristocrats of the Heian period as a place for strolls, picking wild vegetables, and poetic pursuits, it is celebrated in literature such as "The Pillow Book" by Sei Shonagon.

The architect of this property, Goro Masuda, hails from Kyoto Prefecture and currently resides in Okinawa Prefecture. Given Funaoaka's history as a site of aristocratic leisure and entertainment during the Heian period, Masuda envisioned a residence where hobbies could be fully enjoyed. He also believed that it would be fitting to incorporate the warmth of his birthplace, Kyoto, with the tropical ambiance of Okinawa into the design.

こだわりのポイント

  • 沖縄の素材で実用性も

    Practicality with Okinawan Materials

    The interior uses materials from Okinawa, such as Ryukyu limestone and Gettoushi Japanese paper. Ryukyu limestone, a representative stone of Okinawa, has been used in traditional Okinawan houses and structures like Shuri Castle. Gettoushi paper, made from the perennial plant Shell Ginger (Gettou) found in Okinawa, is used for wallpapers with insect-repellent and antibacterial properties.

  • 印象的な花ブロック

    Impressive Flower Blocks

    The "flower blocks" are concrete blocks with hollow patterns that can be commonly seen in Okinawan buildings. Not only with aesthetic design, they also provide shade under the sun, create shadows, and allow airflow, which all moderate the subtropical climate. Living in Kyoto while experiencing the essence of Okinawan architecture adds a unique touch to this property.

  • 大きな棚に好きを詰め込んで

    Fill the Large Shelves with Your Favorites

    The 2nd floor Western-style room has a sloped ceiling with the beams exposed.

    The eye-catching wall-length shelves can be used to display not only books but also miscellaneous items, figures, and hobby-related belongings.

  • 天井と床が広がりを与えるLDK

    Expansive LDK with connective Ceiling and Floor

    The living-dining area boasts a spacious design where the ceiling and floor align linearly, accentuating the warmth of wood and extending towards the garden.

  • お庭の小さな守り神

    Guardian in the Garden

    The traditional Okinawan guardian figure, Shisa, serves as the protector of this home.

    It is believed that having Shisa at home helps prevent disasters and keeps evil spirits away, thus ensuring the long-term well-being of the family.
