Through entrance, courtyard appear. This place is buffer space covered with glass eave and full hight glass window. Its lightness window has the insect screen. But it is not clearness. We had to consider about the insect screen on comfortable livehood. As a result, we designed special insect screen which has extension function like a large bed net. Doing so disappeared existence of insect screen and increased togetherness of inside space and outside space.

Living room has BRISE SOLEIL at west side. It keeps the room inside in lightness. And it shade strong light from sun. Stair space, for basement floor, is filled in lightness softly by BRISE SOLEIL.  In basement floor, there are bedroom and bathroom around courtyard. We removed beds from each bedrooms, and integrated all beds in a bedroom. Its bedroom has no beds. So its bedroom is bed to sleep by whole family.
