和風住宅, or "Wafu Jutaku," refers to traditional Japanese-style houses that reflect the aesthetics and culture of Japan. These homes often feature wooden structures, sliding doors called fusuma, tatami mat flooring, and a connection to nature through gardens and verandas. The design emphasizes simplicity, harmony, and the use of natural materials. The layout of 和風住宅 typically includes a central living area, private rooms, and a genkan, or entrance area. The architecture often incorporates elements like shoji screens for light diffusion and engawa, a wooden porch that connects indoor and outdoor spaces. This style promotes a tranquil and serene living environment.
