Kasumi

Osaka, Japan

Mixed-Use

2026

Kasumi is a contemporary infill building on a narrow corner site in Osaka, carefully inserted between traditional timber houses and the dense urban fabric of the city. Its translucent façade gives the building a quiet presence during the day while respecting the scale and character of its surroundings. The imagery explores the transformation from daylight to dusk, when the façade begins to glow from within and the building becomes a luminous landmark on the street. Capturing this shift in atmosphere was central to communicating the project's architectural identity.
