Article source: Shuhei Goto Architects This small house was planned a long site from north to south. Client are young couple and children. Their request are “bright indoor” and “privacy protection from west and south street”. In order to put a light to the back of the house from various parts, it had a roof and wall to the uneven shape. As a result, it became a characteristic shape, such as the four buildings.  view from west side, Image Courtesy © Shuhei goto architects

Firstly, the results of many studies,It found that the required functions can be grouped into four in each floor. In ground floor, Tatami space,main room,kitchen and water section(bath,dressing room,toilet). In first floor, Master bedroom, two children’s rooms and inner balcony.

We wanted to reduce the height in the edge of the house and wanted to be bright neighbor’s garden and neighbor’s house not only house we designed. So we decided the facade which is divided into four and changed the height each volume. And we followed around houses with gabled roof. So four volumes have house-shaped roof separately.  view inner balcony from main room of first floor, Image Courtesy © Shuhei goto architects  view entrance hall, Image Courtesy © Shuhei goto architects  view second floor, Image Courtesy © Shuhei goto architects  view third floor, Image Courtesy © Shuhei goto architects  photo under construction, Image Courtesy © Shuhei goto architects  Image Courtesy © Shuhei goto architects  Image Courtesy © Shuhei goto architects
