Gave
Gave is a multi-unit residence with attached garages, completed in Osaka, Japan. Each unit links a private garage directly to a studio or office space, so residents move from the car to the home with ease. The building has a steel structure and two floors. A column-free garage entrance allows large vehicles to enter and leave smoothly. Large slabs of natural Ena stone form the main gate, and the floating second floor works as a canopy. Wide driveways, planting and shared terraces create a quiet and private setting.
Gave Residence by Michihiro Matsuo was highlighted as an innovative illustration of architectural design by the A' Design Award & Competition. Gave Residence earned the Bronze A' Design Award in Architecture, Building and Structure Design in 2026. The A' Architecture, Building and Structure Design Award is a highly prestigious, international, juried design competition which honors excellent design of skyscrapers, museums, residential buildings, commercial complexes, educational institutions, religious structures, infrastructure designs, landscaping projects and more.
