Designed by renowned Japanese architect Kengo Kuma & Associates (KKAA) PC Garden is based on a windmill formation, with the design process starting the central area of the house, and working its way outwards. The single-storey house is constructed with four rooms, each positioned where the arms of a windmill would normally be situated.

A garden encircles the home, with each area relating its neighbouring room allowing the dwelling to form a strong association with the natural environment. This adds to the serene, nature-fused feel to the place, allowing individuals to relax. Large glazed sliding doors dissolve the boundary between indoor and outdoor space, bringing a sense of brightness and clarity inside the family home. Each room features a different material finish, establishing identifiable and clearly defined volumes, yet there it still feels incredibly harmonious in design.

Minimalissimo is founded on the kindness and support of Ana Relvao and 27 others. If you enjoy what we’re doing, consider joining this group.
