Haniyasu House by AATISMO is not simply built — it is modeled like earth. Set on the edge of a yato valley in Kamakura, Japan, this intergenerational home blends living and making into one continuous experience. At its heart is a hollowed central hall, surrounded by four clay “nests” that become personal territories for each family member. Local soil shapes walls, floors, and finishes; light enters gently from above; and an inner courtyard with water anchors the home to the rhythm of nature. Equal parts shelter, studio, and landscape, Haniyasu House embraces time, weather, and touch — proving that true luxury is feeling the ground beneath your feet and the craft in your walls.
