[Background]

This project is a newly built multi-family residential complex located in Yahaba Town, Iwate Prefecture, adjacent to a medical university. The design concept reflects the characteristics of this unique site.

For the client, this development marks a bold new business venture. With this in mind, NoMaDoS aimed to create a space that clearly distinguishes itself from typical rental housing.

The overall design adopts a minimalist approach, complemented by carefully considered lighting strategies that add warmth and visual focus to the space. The building’s exterior is shaped to evoke the quiet, sculptural presence of a “monolith,” emphasizing a pure and undisturbed architectural language.

This project is a collaboration with Kuji Design Co., Ltd., with NoMaDoS responsible for architectural design and lighting concept.
