Sumu Yakushima got iF DESIGN AWARD 2023 \"GOLD\", and A+Awards \"Jury Award\"<\/h3>\r\n

S<\/span>umu<\/a> that designed by tono Inc.<\/a> was recognized for a concept of regenerative ideas. Although sustainable architecture that preserves the environment has existed in the past, it is realized in this project with the architectural idea of enriching the environment.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Sumu's design changes our relationship with nature. It enables residents to discover new possibilities for interacting with nature, and to adapt the way they think and act, thus building relationships with nature that transcend generations. If more widely applied, its unique approach has the potential to accelerate environmental initiatives.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Taking extraordinary care not to disturb the fine balance of human and natural presence at this World Heritage site, this building abounds with subtle representations of Japanese master-craftsmanship. Like a haiku, this form reveals its depth on closer inspection.<\/p>\r\n

About Sumu Yakushima<\/h4>\r\n

Yakushima Island is a natural paradise in southern Japan, where abundant rainfall onto 2,000-meter peaks nurtures dense forests home to millennium-old Japanese cedars. This innovative housing co-op applies \"regenerative architecture\" to re-conceptualize the relationship between human habitation and the surrounding natural environment. The name Sumu means both \"to live\" and \"to become clear\", expressing its core concept of living in a way that positively impacts the landscape. Rather than being a discrete site, the design takes a holistic view of the entire river basin, from the mountains to the sea, making a positive contribution to natural processes. It applies \"regenerative architecture\", a new approach developed by the designers that combines traditional Japanese civil engineering with contemporary technology.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
