Text description provided by the architects. The house is located on the southern shore of a small lake that retains a landscape of reed colonies, beside an expanse of land with ears of rice. The client wanted a one-story Japanese-style building. The challenge was how to make the Japanese style into modern architecture and how to connect it with the surrounding environment. As a response to the land, which is said to have been a reed field since ancient times, we created a vertical grid that replaced the unique rustling of reeds, rice, bamboo, and other grass-like plants with generic man-made objects.
