The site is situated amidst the densely packed residential area in Tokyo. Whilst being on a south west corner of the block having frontages to two streets, the elevated railway on the north posed issues of noise and vibration. The corner location offered opportunities for capturing light and air, but the contradiction was that doing so will call for mitigation of noise.
This two-stories residence with wooden structure is located in a town by an hour drive from Fukuoka city, in southern part of Japan. The family aimed to get various places in a site which has a shape of an umbrella or an arrow. We proposed to create diverse topography in the house, and each space is facing to surroundings equally.

Location of the project is a residential area which is everywhere in Japan.This area was a forest in the past but it was developed into residential area. In this area that became the deserted scenery about ten several years passed, rebuilding is performed in recent years.I regarded this situation as a good opportunity and suggested the way of the residential area for the future.

Dwelling is to put oneself in an interactive environmental domain that surrounds humans and other living creatures. There unfold various activities to which living creatures engage themselves for survival. Further expansion of such domain will surely lead us to view the totality of environment as a dwelling as it stretches unsegmented from city to forest and sea and finally from the earth into outer space.
The site is located in the hill of the mountain which can take an extensive view of Omura Bay in Nagasaki. Main concept is to harmonize buildings and surrounding natural environment without destroying original natural landscape.
In order not to destroy sloping land, I made basis protrude from flat terrain and designed one part of house floating from ground and extending in air. Also I spread a planting net and performed planting of a lawn. By this way, I harmonize the house and surrounding natural environment with floating house in natural terrain.
