This one story wooden house is located at new residential area in a suburb of Fukuoka. New housing lots was divided to average area in region and shaped rectangle (almost 300m2 in this area). A site with southern road has more value than a site with northern road. It is the typical small-scale development in Japan. The sites of both sides of the street face each other because of the rigid division rules.This house aimed to ensure openness and privacy at the same time even in that circumstance.
