This house used to be a storehouse in the client's parents' house. It was decided to demolish the storehouse, but the client wanted to reuse it. So the client bought a land near there and decided to move the storehouse to the new location and rebuild it as a house. The new house was planned using the structure of the warehouse. A storehouse is a building to store goods, so it is dark and closed. In order to rebuild the house, it was necessary to make it an open building that could interact with the surrounding environment.
