IGArchitects Designs 73 m² Rural Extension in Ibaraki Prefecture for 2026 Completion

IGArchitects has designed House of Emptiness, a 73 m² residential extension in a quiet rural village in Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan, scheduled for completion in 2026. The project is conceived as a final home for a mature couple and expands an existing main house. Masato Igarashi serves as lead architect, with structural engineering by Yousuke Misaki of EQSD and construction by Hakaru Komori of Komori Construction Company. The scheme responds to the gentle scale of the surrounding settlement and the expansive rural landscape, aiming to establish a new place to dwell within that context. Photography is credited to ToLoLo studio Nakamura Mayu, and the project is curated by Miwa Negoro. Classified under the Houses category, the work was published on ArchDaily.
