A Designer Tiny House—A Special Space Built from the Ground Up
This site was originally home to an abandoned house that had stood vacant for decades. We cleared the land, reinforced the foundation with fill soil, and carefully installed the tiny house. To enhance comfort, we added a wooden deck, pergola, and a retractable tent, creating a unique and inviting retreat.
From Kanagawa to Kurahashi Island—An 800km Journey
The tiny house was crafted in Kanagawa Prefecture and transported 800 kilometers by truck to Kurahashi Island. Once it arrived, it was carefully lifted into place by crane. Finally, we designed the surrounding space to harmonize with nature, bringing the vision to life.
Commitment to Land Development & Safety
To ensure stability, we elevated the ground level to match the height of the seawall in front of the property. The foundation is reinforced with concrete barriers, preventing soil erosion and ensuring a secure structure.
