To set the court with skylight at the back of the rooms, it’s possible to enjoy the life opening to both of the sea and the mountain side. Architects selected the shell construction for the roof to get the spread of space. The slab reinforcement consists of single layer, and the thickness of the slab is 120mm.

The roof is covering the whole the house no matter which is inside or outside. Usually, the big beam or column of concrete frame is needed against the thrust of the shell. But in this house, light construction and simple space is realized by arranging a steal frame with the reinforced concrete.

It’s free from arbitrary decision and consists of simple construction, but at the same time, there are rich sequences of the space and comfortable relationship between the surroundings.
