Set on the historic grounds of the former Belgian Consulate in Ashiya, near Kobe, this residence reflects YZDA’s culturally diverse approach to luxury residential design, wellness, and aging gracefully in place. With an international presence and an office in Tokyo, YZDA reimagined the home as a serene balance of heritage, modern elegance, and thoughtful accessibility. The design honors the family’s memories, American furniture legacy, and subtle layers of English charm and French refinement. Natural light, calm circulation, bespoke furnishings, curated art, and refined materiality create a timeless sanctuary—where history, family, well-being, and quiet sophistication coexist beautifully.
