A house for a family of three. The site is located on a hill in a residential area from the 80’s in southern Okinawa. In the surrounding area, there are many uniquely Okinawan houses with a typical almost flat roof and large eaves sitting on a rectangular concrete frame. The shape of the house protects from subtropical storms and prevents strong direct sunlight from penetrating into the interior. For this project, we decided to follow the lead of our predecessors and the context the house is situated in, but with a wooden structure instead, since this was necessary considering the required functions and construction cost.

The house is a residence for a couple and their four children, built in a village near the sea in southern Okinawa. Outside the village are fields, and in Okinawa, where there is no snow or frost, vegetables that would be grown in spring or summer in Honshu can be harvested throughout the year.

A house and workshop for a couple of craftsmen who have immigrated from Tokyo. The site is located on a hill overlooking the sea in the southern part of the main island of Okinawa, and because it is a little far from the village, abundant nature is left in the surrounding area. The owner wanted an open house and workshop where he could live in the rich nature of Okinawa, even if it was small.

A house and workshop for a couple and three children. The site is located on a hill overlooking the sea on the south side of the southern part of the main island of Okinawa. In the future, the owner plans to expand children's rooms, stores, garages, etc. in response to changes in lifestyle, and wanted a relaxed and open house that could flexibly respond to future expansion plans. Also, since he spends most of his day in the workshop, he wanted a way of living where he had a job as part of his life.
