The House in Shōgoin / Koyori

This project is a unique structure that combines a residential space with a shop and features a distinguished shrine within the building. The shrine is situated in a spacious room where the client's great-grandmother once performed sacred rituals. It is still carefully maintained by dedicated followers. The shrine enshrines a deity widely revered at a well-known shrine in the Kansai region, and the building itself holds a deep connection with the local community.
