Introducing ETENA: A New Era of Thoughtful Living with Architectural Design in Okayama

ETENA: A New Standard in Thoughtful Living

Kowa Real Estate, a prominent developer, has announced the debut of its new brand, ETENA. The flagship property, ETENA Nakasan-do Nishi, is designed by the renowned Tsuzuki Office, led by architect Takashi Suzuki. Set in Okayama's vibrant Tonya-machi area, this designer rental apartment complex offers a unique living experience that harmonizes with the changing seasons.

The Vision Behind ETENA

ETENA stands for an elevated lifestyle that transcends mere shelter. Unlike typical properties, ETENA aims to create emotional and fulfilling living environments tailored to the individuality and familial needs of residents. The concept revolves around the idea of a city that considers the nuances of human interaction, fostering a sense of community and shared experience rather than simply serving as a collection of buildings. This vision is brought to life through meticulous planning, innovative ideas, and a holistic approach that redefines urban living.

Unique Design Features

ETENA Nakasan-do Nishi features a combination of natural materials, including solid wood flooring, creating an inviting ambiance that is visually warm and tactilely pleasing. The wooden structure boasts excellent thermal insulation and soundproofing, harmoniously integrating the external environment while allowing residents to feel the essence of each season in their daily lives.

Flexible living arrangements include 2 and 3-bedroom units, accommodating various family structures and lifestyles. The 3-bedroom mazonette type offers versatility, allowing for an open-plan configuration that maximizes space and natural light. This adaptability supports the evolving dynamics between family members, whether couples or children, ensuring that the living space grows alongside them.

Comfort Beyond Four Walls

Attention is also given to the overall living environment, with thoughtfully designed communal spaces that promote a sense of tranquility. Green spaces between buildings provide a gentle visual barrier, fostering a connection to nature. Balconies are designed to be spacious and usable, free from obtrusive air conditioning units. Enhanced safety measures, including electronic locks and well-planned common areas, contribute to a secure community atmosphere.

The ETENA Nakasan-do Nishi aims to be a haven where families can create lasting memories while experiencing the beauty of changing seasons.

Property Details

The development will offer a variety of unit sizes, from 53.43 to 79.98 square meters, with rental prices starting from 113,000 yen per month. Initial leasing will begin on January 16, 2026, while occupancy is slated for March 16, 2026. Interested parties are encouraged to reach out to Sunhome Okayama for further information.

The Design Mind Behind ETENA

Tsuzuki Office, located in Yokohama, is spearheaded by architect Takashi Suzuki. With an impressive track record of over a decade with Nikken Sekkei, Suzuki established his firm in 2014, utilizing his diverse expertise to create spaces that marry functionality with aesthetic appeal. He has received multiple accolades, acknowledging his contributions to architecture.

Looking Forward

With the initial launch of ETENA Nakasan-do Nishi, Kowa Real Estate plans to continue expanding the brand with subsequent leasing phases to meet growing demand. This ambitious undertaking promises to set a new benchmark in residential living, marking a significant milestone in Okayama’s real estate landscape.

ETENA isn’t just a property; it’s a lifestyle. It epitomizes a space that evolves, cherishes, and grows alongside its residents, creating a legacy of rich experiences and cherished memories—a true embodiment of the eternal.
