Japanese architect Kohei Yukawa has designed a house for himself and his family in a suburb of Osaka, featuring flexible living spaces arranged around a double-height atrium with a tree at its centre.
Yukawa, co-founder of Yukawa Design Lab, designed the Margin House in response to the unique conditions of its urban site in Ibaraki City, to the north of Osaka.

The property looks directly onto a side street at the front, while at the rear is a small agricultural plot. The inclusion of voids and openings, described by the architect as margins , connect the building with the city, the sky and the neighbouring field.
