土壁・こどもの場・未来の家・・・「いのちの場」を目指す建築家 遠野未来が日々の想いを綴るブログ
東京神田を拠点に「自然素材といのちの場」を目指し、全国各地で土壁や自然素材を使った建築設計・空間づくりを行っています。 単に自然素材を使うのではなく、曲線を使った「現代的なデザイン」と「やわらかな空間」を特徴としています。 遠野未来建築事務所ホームページ http://tonomirai.com
