Nestled within a quiet but convenient residential area, just ten minutes away from Shinjuku Station, is a house for a family of three.
The openings facing the road to the north are limited to a small number to maintain privacy, whilst, in the south, bright and open living spaces are provided with an overhead skylight. In addition, tatami is installed over the floor of this living space to create an atmosphere similar to that of a loft for the clients.
