A Modern Japanese House with A Red Handrail on the Living Room Stairs

Located in Hiroshima Prefecture, this modern Japanese house with a red handrail on the living room stairs is designed by Souken Home. It is a 2017 residential project completed for Mr. Y and his family. The red handrail becomes the focal point of the living room.

Design

The client, Mr. Y, already knew about Souken Home from the time he was thinking about building a house. When it comes to the actual time to consider a house, he visited a model home and incorporated the points he liked into the house.

The inspiration for the red handrail of the living room stairs comes from the work of the Souken Home’s favorite architect.
