Text description provided by the architects. A pentagon - The plan of the house is a pentagon. A pentagon is the first polygonal figure to make all corners obtuse. From a traditional standpoint, the lack of right angles in any corner of the house will ultimately lead to the assumption that there is ‘a lot of wasted space’. However, the reason why we proposed the obtuse corners in the small house is probably the look of its softly open ends. I think this is a handy way to replace a single house which is always in contact with the ground, such as a tard, with a continuous experience connected with the land. In addition, the owners wanted to use the exterior space for various subdivided purposes (so not a single integrated yard). As such, the house has been shaped in a pentagon form to divide the yard.
