It is a small house built on a lot of 86.48m2. On the first floor, a passageway leads from the front yard to the back yard, where the rooms are arranged. By creating a passageway, the space does not feel small on the site. The second floor has high ceilings and large windows that allow the surrounding site to be used as a borrowed landscape, The ceiling windows let in light from the sky without worrying about the surroundings, creating a bright, open, square-like living space. The furniture is dispersed throughout the space, creating an optimal living environment for the residents.
