floor plans

Put a 30 degree-curved wooden box on the ground which is 1.8m higher from road.
By curving a little, it builds up all-round view of ocean and sky from every single room.
Needed life spaces for four family members are fitted in simple plan, as compact as possible.

The interior space surrounded is preferable to be peaceful, warm, and gentle.
This is the house that people can live by incorporating wavering light, refreshing breeze, beautiful Ise Bay lit by rising sun, and surrounding green from season to season.

Jappan/Finland style house. Unisex style building.

Good, logical and a bit nice, interesting house. wooden house – “warm” house; but isn’t too much here wood (exterior and interior)? non-monotonic “wooden” solution?

the japan style (tatami) room I like best – it’s really japan style.

please, give us the real japan STYLE (modern or not) building.
