Kubota Architect Atelier is no stranger to creating spacious abodes with contemporary design cues. The company’s latest project is a sizable home located in the industrialized city of Shunan, Japan. To help with urban congestion, the architects equipped the space with rugged textiles that dictate how air and sunlight flow inside the structure.
