Living with natural materials
— Kobako's house lives in harmony with wood —
We do not simply "use natural materials," but want to create homes that utilize the life of wood and grow over time. We cut down, saw, and naturally dry cedar and cypress trees that grow in the mountains of Gunma, and take the time to carefully use them in the structure and finish of our homes. Natural materials are not only beautiful to look at, but they also create homes that are gentle on the air, the texture, and all five senses.
Natural materials handled by Kobako
・Locally produced cedar and cypress (solid wood)
→ We cut trees, saw lumber, and naturally dry structural/fitting materials and solid wood flooring in-house → Wooden floors, lime plaster, and diatomaceous earth that are comfortable on bare feet and warm even in winter → Finishing materials such as plastering, natural paints, beeswax, and washi paper that have excellent moisture-regulating and antibacterial properties → Safe and secure, and bring out the texture of the materials
We can also suggest materials that suit your body type! Please feel free to contact us!
The appeal of natural materials
A home made from natural materials becomes more attractive with each passing year.
The scent of the wood, the soft texture, the feeling of light and wind.
The comfort that is felt through the five senses comes from a "living texture" that cannot be found in artificial materials.
At Kobako, we have a deep understanding of the characteristics of materials,
We offer designs and proposals that are tailored to each family.
■ 自然素材でつくる住まいの魅力
・Breathing material = naturally regulates condensation and humidity ・Air environment that takes allergies and chemicals into consideration ・Charm deepens with age = the joy of "growing" in your home ・Sustainable material that can be used for a long time with repairs, repainting, etc.
■ Our in-house integrated system allows us to "visualize" the ingredients
・We handle everything from felling, sawing, drying, processing, and construction in-house. ・By naturally drying for over two years, we minimize warping and cracking of wood. ・We build safe homes with clear source of materials and manufacturing process. ・We create a worksite that leads to trust with "visible materials" and "visible work."
■ A home that grows in flavor as you live in it
・An indoor environment that allows you to live in harmony with nature ・A home that you can love for a long time while taking care of it ・A home that connects to the future, created with "real materials" and "honest construction"
We propose this lifestyle using natural materials.
