North Wing living room with Matsumoto Castle beyond the window

North Wing

Timber beams overhead. A long table.

Matsumoto Castle and the Japanese Alps beyond the window.

North Wing is a private house arranged around its upstairs living floor: close enough to gather, with room to find your own pace.

A place to gather

Upstairs is a 26-tatami living-dining-kitchen.

One person cooks, another reads, someone else watches the view. The room holds different rhythms at the same time.

The long solid-wood table is for more than meals. It carries the house from morning coffee to unhurried evenings.

A place to sleep

Two bedrooms are on the ground floor.

One is finished with tatami; the other has timber flooring.

Bath and castle

Matsumoto Castle stands beyond the bathroom window.

A separate shower room is provided in addition to the bath.

The bathing spaces are divided so the end of the day does not need to be hurried.
