Developed Yamatecho can look Osaka-bay around from each house built in the south sloping ground around here in Ashiya river and Mt.Rokko in the Taisyo period.
The scenic streets which represent Ashiya are spread, and this place is the area which makes matured culture feel.
East and west in a plan place concerned are circled in neighboring land housing, but a garden in the neighboring land where various planting was planted spreads over a south side, and the scenery Yamatecho spreads ahead of it. A plan advanced towards a basis to utilize such environment maximally.
A facade is arranging a wall of 2 of cedar mold concrete exposed, making the white wall the basis. It's possible to be to add the gentleness of the tree and the warmth to the surface of the concrete which is to make it cedar mold completion and is mineral matter and contribute to streets, and the depth and a change are being given to the whole building where I overcome.
Before walking along a passage of the planting in the foot along cedar mold completion, an entrance is here. Anyway it's quiet and is led to a peaceful residence by getting the distance while enjoying green comfortably.
I made the interior the smooth details in the whole and aimed at the space where a lime stone, a plaster wall and oak flooring can feel the feel of a material of giblets of the material. A front door made them related to green and made the openhearted person with the spread beyond the area met gallery space, protecting privacy. The living room and the dining where I take the leading part in a residence are arranged in the center so that the family can gather naturally, and there is a big wooden sash of single sliding in the corner on the south side, all, when opening, it'll be the open place which connected with a terrace garden in general.
Besides the open bathroom and parsonal where I wish for a garden are also emphasized, but I'm living in the main bedroom which has the good location which connected at a deck and am producing the place where you wrap a hand easy.
A residence hand will enjoy a life of a relief as well as a flow at time and paradise with relaxation at this place, and is here by spending time with these construction and landscape and being carved in the family's memory.
