by Nobuaki Miyashita for Aida Sekkei Co., Ltd.

Urban Prism redefines urban living by transforming zoning constraints into architectural possibilities. Its sculptural form responds to strict height and setback regulations, balancing spatial openness and privacy. The residence integrates layered volumes, boundary walls, and courtyards to optimize light, airflow, and privacy. Thoughtfully selected materials, textured fiber cement, solid wood, and high-performance glass, enhance the sensory experience while ensuring sustainability. A refined synthesis of modern architecture and Japanese principles creates a harmonious, adaptable urban home.
