Architecture
The structure employs concrete and glazed spaces. It features "garden rooms," which are covered courtyards. These exterior-like spaces sit between interior rooms. Small trees integrate with the design.
This arrangement allows alternating experience of interior and exterior. The design turns a narrow site into openness.
Setting
The two-storey residence occupies a long, narrow plot. It stands in Koamicho, Hiroshima, Japan. The design transforms a compact urban lot. It creates a bright, spacious home.
Specifications
