Nestled discreetly within the embrace of the Naab Valley, Komorebi is more than just a house; it is a harmonious dialogue between human habitation and the natural world. The name, borrowed from the Japanese, encapsulates the essence of the project: a structure that filters and frames the ethereal dance of sunlight through leaves. A stark black cube, it humbly submits to the grandeur of its surroundings, its low profile and dark exterior allowing the river, hills, and forest to dominate the landscape. This architectural humility is further emphasized by the building's exclusive southern orientation, maximizing the capture of natural light and the expansive vista while minimizing its visual impact.
Wood, the lifeblood of the forest, finds its expression both internally and externally in Komorebi. The exterior is clad in carbonized Japanese cedar, a material imbued with resilience against the elements. Inside, the warmth of light spruce envelops the inhabitants, creating a tactile and sensory experience. This interplay of wood with limestone, clay, and linen introduces a dynamic tension between hard and soft, rough and smooth.
Komorebi is a testament to sustainable living. Its design incorporates passive solar heating, with the massive clay wall acting as a thermal battery, storing the sun's warmth during the day and releasing it gradually at night. The photovoltaic system on the green roof generates clean energy, complementing the house's ecological footprint. Moreover, the building is meticulously insulated with wood fiber, and rainwater is harvested for the garden, creating a self-sufficient ecosystem.
With a focus on spatial flow and tranquility, the interior of Komorebi is a study in simplicity. The linear arrangement of living spaces, punctuated by built-in cupboards, fosters a sense of calm and order. The absence of excessive ornamentation allows the mind to wander and connect with the surrounding nature. Komorebi is not merely a dwelling; it is a retreat, an invitation to slow down, breathe deeply, and immerse oneself in the rhythm of the natural world.

Sehr schön.
All new buildings should be designed with large roof overhangs. The large overhang provides beauty and protection from the sun, rain and wind.
Protection of the doors, windows and siding make for a more durable and comfortable home.
Thank you. Your Support Makes Us Better. 🙏🙏
All homes should be built to accommodate the elderly and disabled. This will be better for everyone.
Large wide doorways and hallways make using a cane, walker or wheel chair much easier.
Bathrooms or wet rooms need to have flat floors and no shower hump or pan. A flat floor allows for easy access and drains need to provided.
Easy to use lever door and faucet handles are easier for the elderly to grip and open.
Main floors should include a master bedroom, restroom, shower, laundry and wide walk in closet with few steps to enter.
Homes should be designed with aging in place in mind.
We Will Try Better, in presenting home design inspiration from famous architects.🙏🙏
New homes should come with solar panels, a rain water collection system and an electric vehicle charger in the garage.
