Its 9 meter high ceilings led to upward construction, creating new office space at the mezzanine level and into a previously unused attic. The attic, shown above, is now a common area and meeting space that provides a relaxing work environment.

This is the small house for a couple, child, and cat. The client lived for a long time in the old house that was built on the site. As the house became older, they decided to build a new house. With such a background, a proposal was made to build “a house with fresh feeling in the familiar surroundings”. The external appearance is established by assembling several volumes and laying out colors. Careful arrangement of colors from volume to volume gives the façade depth, and produces as well an effective sequence to the entrance.With such a background, a proposal was made to build “a house with fresh feeling in the familiar surroundings”.
