Real American Residence in Nagoya, Japan

This house was built for American family staying in Nagoya, japan. They have many friends and hold a party together. So, a huge space was required here.

I installed the whole bricks at the first floor wall. And for the interior wall, I installed drywall like North America, though they are rare in Japan.

Of course, many building materials were imported from Canada. So, this house is a real western style house.

Please check the movie and enjoy it.

Grandma's home was imaged. - Mr. M's house

Added a new work, Mr. M's house in my web page of Work Introduction. The house plan is based on feng shui conception and Japanese retro design in Showa period. Foe this House, while we asked a master the opinion of feng shui, we were planning the floor and exterior design.

Considering the features and usability, it is often not ideal. But we finally achieved this to use every device.

At exterior wall we installed Stucco Flex that combines durability and flexibility as a cladding material. And we installed asphalt shingle roofing with 30 years warranty on the roof.

The interior conception is the house where the owner's wife had visited a grandmother in her childhood. It can also be sticking to this even a new building. Please check the details in the page, Grandma's home was imaged. - Mr. M's house. If you want to see the video, please check the video of Mr. M's house.

Living with pets

Do you design with pets in mind at house building or renovation? When you build a new house or renovate a room in Japan, you may want to consult a builder who knows dog or cat and building materials to live with pets, but actually such a builder is rare near you.

So, I would like to let you know information in my new web page, "Living with pets". Please check it, if you are interested in it. Thanks.

Old Style Design K1770PB

Recently I have never seen such a brass colored lighting in North America. However, Japanese may like a chandelier with candle bulbs.

It is not so decolative but they will imagine the old American life in this design.

The diameter is 17" and it is suitable in a narrow stairway.

The customer, N moved here yesterday, but it looks like an old house by the light and shadow on the drywall.

It will become beautiful more after 10 years or more.

The other Japanese builders cannot achieve such a design because they use a vinyl wall paper and a commonplace lighting fixture.

Calculated Beauty

The highlights in home design are kitchen, vanity, bath tub and lighting, etc. This time we introduce the staircase and handrail.

From a recent trend, simple and modern style, there are not so many builders who install the decorative design in houses.

It may be easier, if it is packaged together with all. But I must combine the various parts depending on the size and shape of the stairs. And a carpenter needs experience and time for the installation.

How do you think about this? I think it is art. Ballusters stand rhythmically and handrail moves three-dimensionally.

This is made of solid red oak and I can choose delicate design for ballusters. Because it is so hard and difficult to break.
When using soft pine for staircase, I will choose thick ones to increase the strength of the tread and balluster.

I have to change the materials in accordance with the place and customer's desire. It would be required to a builder.

After all, hard work is fun!

The other highlights are shown on the page of " Sales and introduction of materials ". Thanks.

Barrel Sauna

Recently, I wrote a post about a Japanese marketing seminar that I was asked by a group of material company in Atlantic Canada through the Canadian Consulate in Nagoya. And I would like to introduce some interesting products in its group companies.

One of them, this barrel sauna.

Home sauna, Hey What a luxury!


Diameter and length 6ft x 8ft (rest area at entrance: 2ft) and it is manufactured by Barrel Enterprises.

A bubble-shaped window is made by smoke and cannot be seen from the outside.

Canadian Cedar makes you relax the mind and body by good smell of wood.

Also, an electric heater is so warm, safe and economical.

How about sauna party with family and friends in your garden?

Of course, when you do not use a sauna, you can also use it as a private room or a den.

(After the sauna, a wood-burning barrel bath is also available.)

American Terraced house

Recently I was consulted by a brother in law about the exploitation of the land.

He has some lands and other assets but he has a fear that he is not able to pay the municipal property tax in future.

So, we bring a large urban agricultural land adjoining a road at 112 feets in focus. The land is located in Midori ward, Nagoya.

Here, the property tax is cheap as long as he has as a agricultural land, but it is no value, if he exploits it.

But once he changes the land to a housing lot site, he must pay the tax so much.

He asked me if a cheap apartment building was available, but the apartment for low incomer exsists a lot.

In addition, such a market always falls victim of price competition and vacant room.

So, I had suggested the rental houses for foreign families. They make a tranquil community to live in three families.

As for Families living away from home, it is encouraged that some families who come from the same country, stay close.


As the image plan, if a house looks western style luxury building and there are three houses with the reasonable rent as well, I feel that it has considerable potential for demand.

Of course, as well as exterior, I build the houses with imported materials from North America, with western interior design like their home. Well, Home made is bset at western style in Japan.

You may feel a little condominium in North America.

It is still a project in the future, but if it starts moving, it works well, it might become a new core business in Home Made Company.

Stay tuned!
