The following points were considered in the design process -The hedge of maki trees, which are common in the area, was used as an enclosure. -The steeply pitched hipped roof shape seen in local old minka houses was used. -The single-story structure creates a peaceful space. -The large roof creates a generous space. -The semi-exterior space created under the eaves of the deep eaves creates continuity with the garden and interior space. -The deep eaves prevent rain from penetrating and deteriorating the walls, and soften the direct rays of the sun in summer. -Each space enjoys a different garden. -A sunrise viewing area was placed high on the east end of the building to provide a beautiful view of the morning sun. -Create a space where people can feel excitement through an extraordinary experience without being eccentric.
