Article source: Masashi Ogihara Architect & Associates A site is an area where a residence crowds in Tokyo. Since restriction of the 7-meter minimum altitude had started, many houses of 3 stories were built and had been located in a line around the site. Therefore, except the south side which a road connects, they were the conditions which cannot expect many taking in outside environment to an inside.  Image Courtesy © Kai Nakamura

Therefore, not almost all the rooms except the circumference of water have prepared the partition. Wherever it may be in, each family is the space involved gently.

It is planning for this window to serve as a place which acquires the patency of interior space and is connected with the exterior.

However, in this house, privacy is not secured by intercepting relation but privacy is secured by controlling relation. The DOMA floor has played the role of the control device.

The DOMA floor serves as a place to which the visitor from outside is sometimes invited, and when another, it serves as a place which works a house as extension of indoor space.

A role of relation of the DOMA floor is strengthened by carrying out usage which embraced the situation having shut the drawing-in door, obtaining and opening wide, or opening only a half.

It is decided that administration will support some building expenses to construction of a fireproof building for the purpose of the prevention from the spread of a fire of the city area fire accompanying an earthquake. By utilizing this support, though it is wooden, it has fire-resistant performance, and it became possible to hold down construction cost.
