Vertical Machiya: Stacked Cabin Volumes

Design architecture as a vertical reinterpretation of the traditional Japanese machiya. Stack multiple house-like volumes with varied roof forms while preserving human scale and neighborhood character in the style of Kengo Kuma. Each floor reading as a separate small house with its own pitched roof, the stack slightly offset at each level, timber and dark plaster palette, the silhouette matching the scale of neighbouring low buildings, soft daylight, eye-level composition, 28mm lens, ultra photorealistic, 8K
