Text description provided by the architects. Located in a vibrant residential area in Hyogo Prefecture, Japan this architecture features a blend of residence and playground. We seek to tailor our architecture to the diverse needs of our clientele, and in this case the homeowner was a single woman who had roots in this neighbourhood from childhood, and desired to use part of her property to help the children of the adjacently located nursery school. After consulting with the homeowner and the nursery school officials, the resulting plan maximized the outside space of the property as a playground for the nursery school. The result is a private residence with a close relationship to the surrounding neighbourhood.
