in europe
Nashinokisya is a design and construction studio based in Barcelona, founded as a partnership between Ruben M. Peral, an architect and carpenter, and Akane Ishijima, a interior designer and manager. With architectural studies in both Spain and Japan and after 3 years of carpentry experience in Japan, we bring a refined approach to timber craftsmanship rooted in tradition. Inspired by the Japanese concept of 庵(an)humble, contemplative dwellings Nashinokisya creates small-scale wooden retreats that encourage stillness, presence, and a deep connection with nature. The studio collaborates with an international team of European carpenters to produce and assemble these cabins throughout Europe.
Nashinokisya exists to explore what it means to truly dwell quietly, beautifully, and consciously.
