japanese studio process5 design has created ‘T’, a weekend residence located a short while from osaka city in western japan. the team worked with the client in order to create a quiet, relaxed space where the little things lost in the chaos of urban living could be found once again. ‘T’ is composed of three levels (two above, one below ground), with a voluminous stairwell that connects each area. the architectural element is centrally located, and thus directs light, circulation, and movement throughout. described as a place to spend time as you wish, the ‘T’ house is a collection of distinctive rooms where inhabitants can escape the bustle of everyday existence.
