House with Futokoro in Koganei, Japan by Mizuishi Architects Atelier (designed using Vectorworks)

This house was planned in the deepest part of a site divided into three. Because it was expected that next buildings approach in the east and west, I aimed at the house which wind and looking could pass in the north and south direction. Residents are husband and wife, two little girls, two dogs, three cats.They had many personal things, but when I saw the overflow condition of their things,I thought It is good exactly for them just like “they are not worry,even if they do not tidy up” rather than they keep a thing in storage exactly.
