The couple, having finished raising their children, decided to rebuild their long-time home after a quarter-century and prepare for their later years by making it their final residence.
The new home opens onto the park across the street, incorporating green scenery into daily life so that this blessed environment can be enjoyed from anywhere within the house.
While the master bedroom is on the second floor, the design allows for using the Japanese-style room on the first floor should mobility become limited, ensuring all aspects of daily life can be managed entirely on the ground floor.
