Kusoka no Nagaya is a contemporary long house completed in 2005 in Soka, Saitama Prefecture. Designed by the Waseda University Irie Masayuki Laboratory in collaboration with D.F.I., this residential terrace house exemplifies modern interpretations of Japan's traditional row house typology. The project thoughtfully integrates historical housing concepts with contemporary design principles, creating a unique living environment that bridges past and present. Located in central Soka, this work demonstrates how architects can revitalize traditional urban housing forms while meeting modern residential needs and urban context requirements.
