This property is the result of three years of planning and conceptualising, with the Metaph Architect team drawing on their considerable well of experience to bring a very specific dream to life. The owner had a clear vision which the team were trying to bring into beautiful reality. Through a process which championed care and attention at every stage, they were certainly able to succeed. St. Residence is nestled in a quiet residential area on a hill in Kobe, surrounded by rich greenery. The owner was looking for a housing solution, somewhere he could live as a second home that offered a tranquillity and effortless charm that could not be found in the city center. To the Metaph Architect team, it was clear that the major point of difference was the stunning view and so the decision to focus on a U-shaped plan was made. This would provide a perspective that couldn’t be matched and a focal point that was second to none. Every aspect of this incredible development was considered by the Metaph Architect team, and went through their office for approval. As a result, architecture, furniture, and the owner's life have been effortlessly united. This attention to detail demonstrates why the company also earned the award for Excellence in Innovation. Their clients’ needs have always come first and this means that they are always looking for new ways in which to serve them better.
