About Engawa Residential House
Engawa Redefining Family Spaces in Traditional Japanese Architecture; Engawa, a distinct feature of traditional Japanese architecture, serves as a bridge between the interior and exterior spaces, blurring boundaries while delineating spatial functions. This architectural element has inspired a novel approach to family interactions, particularly in the design of middle rooms that seamlessly connect the living room, dining area, and study without spatial interference. Drawing from the structural essence of engawa, this innovative design provides ample family storage space.
