MY HOME 2026
Made with Care

Packed with references. A collection of the latest BEST home examples!

Architects Hiroshi Nakamura and Yasushi Horibe are known for their mastery of residential design.
We introduced their home designs in our 2019 Housing Special, and coincidentally, they recently completed their own homes at the same time.
This feature showcases the unique attention to detail that only architects can bring to their homes.
We also feature the homes of creative craftsmen.
From the design to the materials, floor plan, furniture, and even the finer details, these homes are filled with the essence of their previous work, and you can learn from these homes, which feel like a culmination of their work as architects and creatives!
