So that the wall self-stands and works as a blinder to contribute ensuring privacy of each court and each room.

It provides space expansion feeling more than actual area and intimate relation between inside and outside of the house by ensuring ventilation and lighting.

Each house volumes are set in different direction to ensuring both good view and privacy.As the result client family can enjoy beautiful sceneries such as blue sky and mountains through the roof on each house volume even in center of the house. Each house volumes have a random gap among them. Client family can feel nature such as terraced field and row of mountains through the gaps.

It realize both open-minded and private living environment without curtains. And the design nicely fits the surrounding landscape where terrace fields and residence are mixing. Client family can enjoy their new life with feeling nature such as terrace fields and Ikoma mountain landscape in every season.
