Introducing Hirara

Hajime Construction Co., a core subsidiary of the Idia Group Holdings, is excited to announce the launch of its first single-story residential house specification known as "Hirara." This innovative housing concept is set to debut in Nishiwaki City, Hyogo Prefecture, starting April 2025. Targeting a diverse audience that includes families with children, double-income couples (DINKS), and seniors, Hirara aims to adapt to the changing needs of modern Japanese society.

Background and Purpose

In recent years, the demand for single-story houses has soared, with Hajime Construction planning to supply about 370 units in the fiscal year of 2024 alone. According to statistics from Japan's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, single-story homes accounted for approximately 15.4% of newly constructed residences in 2023, a significant rise from 7.4% in 2013. This upward trend reflects several societal changes, including declining household sizes and an aging population. As a result, the advantages of single-story homes—such as convenience in daily life, energy efficiency, and cost-effectiveness—are being reassessed.

Hajime Construction's latest offering, Hirara, responds to this market demand by providing a practical and comfortable living space that emphasizes a stress-free, family-oriented lifestyle.

The Hirara Specification

The design of Hirara promotes a communal living experience where family members can naturally gather and connect. The open-plan layout features two to three bedrooms (2LDK to 3LDK), all conveniently linked to the kitchen, allowing for seamless interactions and efficient household management. Key focuses in the development of Hirara include energy-saving features, livability, stylish aesthetics, and economic viability, providing residents with an ideal environment for both relaxation and entertaining.

The exterior boasts an elegant appearance highlighted by raised side walls that create visual depth and high-quality siding. Notably, every unit is equipped with a covered terrace connected to the dining area, enhancing outdoor activities and offering protection against unexpected rain during laundry days. This additional space caters to various interests and provides residents with a sense of comfort.

Future Directions

Hajime Construction is committed to adapting to the changing lifecycle needs of residents by continuously proposing housing solutions that fit modern lifestyles. As Hirara rolls out in Nishiwaki City, it represents the company’s dedication to providing homes that blend practicality with contemporary design.
