In many cases, when a house and a store are combined, the areas are clearly divided, but in this project, the living room, dining room, and private rooms where the family relaxes are also used as stores, making the house a place where one can go back and forth between private and business life without borders.

A single wall wraps around the entire building, and large fittings are installed in some areas so that the residents can freely use the space as both private and public space. We aimed to create an architecture in which the house can support the residents in various scenes more than just its function as a home.
