Grace
Grace is a small timber framed residence for a family of three on a riverside lot on the outskirts of Tokyo. The house is designed for a work from home lifestyle. Storage, kitchen appliances and other functional features are built into the walls to enhance unity and continuity in the long, narrow space. Private rooms occupy the first floor, while the second floor is a single open room under a gable roof with exposed rafters and indirect lighting. A glazed front balcony with deep eaves forms a transition between work and leisure.
Grace Residence by Satoshi Kurosaki has been identified as an outstanding representation of architectural design by the A' Design Award. Grace Residence earned the Golden A' Design Award in Architecture, Building and Structure Design in 2025. The A' Architecture, Building and Structure Design Award is a highly prestigious, international, juried design prize which rewards exceptional design of skyscrapers, museums, residential buildings, commercial complexes, educational institutions, religious structures, infrastructure designs, landscaping projects and more.
