Some openings are also provided on stairs, by providing indirect lighting on stair risers it creates rhythm and floating feeling to the space. Moreover, by providing a step in Japanese rooms, sense of independence was emphasized. Provided with no partitions, multi-purpose hall on the second floor become a very open space, meanwhile the main bedroom and the nursery at the southeast side become a very friendly to natural ventilation and lighting since it is provided with a terrace balcony.The keyword for I3-House “molding at the top of the hill” design was the natural features of the site itself, they are “wind” and “cliff”.
