The wabi-sabi of Erika Nakagawa's ‘breakthrough project’ in JapanSetting up her office in Toyko in 2014, Erika Nakagawa describes Momoyama House as her ‘breakthrough project’. The weekend retreat in the Shizuoka Prefecture features an unusually high, undulating concrete roof raised on concrete pillars that creates a flowing interior, which opens entirely towards the surrounding nature. Nakagawa has also been invited to exhibit work at the respected Toto Gallery Ma space for architecture in 2021, whose selection committee includes Tadao Ando.
