Shoji screening, bamboo, incense cedar wood finishes, a koi pond: two classical residential styles are blended when an antique sea captain’s house is infused with architectural elements and decorative detail borrowed from the traditional Japanese home. An exterior glass-covered walkway evokes the feel of an engawa, a welcoming Japanese veranda. What was once a garage is now an intimate guest house with a breezeway that leads to an enclosed garden. This imaginative cultural mix inspires a sense of profound privacy and quiet tranquility. |
