The height and form of both roof and façade are continuously adjusted to the surroundings, which also enables the house to develop its own unique character.The façade is made of cedar board and batten hatfrom Hokkaido that will become gradually grey over time.

The contrast of light and shadow is reinforced here, adding a sense of depth and extension into the space. This RENMADO window works as a device that connects the indoor and the outside.

The Z-shaped plan is positioned very naturally in the site, and its form provides good separation between the two generation areas. At the same time, it provides a space including front door, corridor and “Doma” space which connects both areas in the center of the Z-shaped plan.
