Details: MY HOME 2026
Creating a custom home

Full of details that you will want to refer to. Latest BEST housing sample collection!

Takushi Nakamura and Yasushi Horibe are architects known as masters of housing.
In our 2019 housing feature, we featured two people building their own homes, and now, coincidentally, they completed their own homes at the same time.
Therefore, we feature the special attention to detail that can only be achieved in an architect's home.
Also, pay attention to the homes of the creators who make things.
From the design, building materials, floor plans, furniture, and even details, you'll learn about a home that feels like the culmination of your work as an architect and creator, filled with the essence of your past works!
