Entry Description

This is a house for a family of four, situated on one of
the lots for sale at a newly developed area in
“satoyama” or semi-natural woodlands. The land is
too large for a simple program requested by the client:
a private house with a garage for two cars. Taking
advantage of the large site area, we proposed a
spacious one-story house that is open to the
surrounding neighborhood, based on a design concept
of “connecting space to nature”.

The large roof may be designed as homage to a
mountain in the natural landscape that was lost during
the development process. However, we expect that
this house will give a good inspiration in creating a
better community, by proposing a comfortable living
environment where people and nature co-exist to
make a comfortable life under a large roof.
