In the purest Japanese expression, the studio of mA-style architects has enhanced the volume of a single peek one story in the coastal city of Yaizu, Japan. The Koya No Sumika house extends to additional living off the main house offering a passage of vitality mixing glass and timber between the narrow gardens of the two builds. Simple the structure as it grounds itself to a white rectangle lifted by a triangular wooden lid. Natural light floods in freely, and the space quickly becomes a haven for peaceful moments each pocket lending way for logical storage.

I find a way to fearlessly provoke your senses and take you by the heart to whatever it is I’m writing about. My sweet spot is creative writing, but for the last 20 years I have been providing freelance content for publications on sustainability and green practices, design, architecture, fashion, and non-profit charity. Recently all wrapped up in producing my first book. I have bounced from NYC to Indianapolis, but my true home is a lovely small town in Central Pennsylvania where there’s a legit drive-your-tractor-to-school-day.
