Text description provided by the architects. This house sits in the beautiful scenery of Mie, near the Suzuka mountain range. The client, a emi- nent florist truly enjoys its natural surroundings, with its natural green context, with site plants which he uses for his own work, as well as wild animals coming from mountains to eat fruits.
Approaching from the road, suddenly appears a white sharp “C-shape” volume of 22m long, gently floating above a existing slope, between the trees.
A stairway to the house is made of 7 pieces from a huge rock which found buried under the ground while construction.
