Description

Immerse yourself in the world of harmonious residential design through the Japan-based architecture studio, Apollo.

Featuring a harmonious balance between indoor, outdoor and hybrid spaces, Apollo, a Japanese-based studio, crafts warm and inviting homes through their dedication to design, security and function. These houses are understated, yet monumental in their confident form. With a firm rejection of frivolity, their functionality is conjured with the restraint and thoughtfulness of a practiced hand. Led by renowned architect, Satoshi Kurosaki, the team skillfully orchestrates individual design elements together to achieve a harmonious and peaceful space.

Tracing through the studio's decades-long practice, this book showcases a carefully chosen selection of Apollo's projects with striking photography paired alongside thoughtful commentary and insights into the design process. This is Apollo pulling back the curtain on what it means to create a space with such balance and harmony that it bleeds into one's own life.
