From the architect. The site is in a suberb of Yokkaichi-city, one of the most representative city of industry in Japan. Even though this old town is abundant with nature, in the neighborhood houses are built with fences enclosing their own sites from the local community.
The house is set back from the street to obtain sunlight from the south, and this also brings an opportunity for its garden to connect with the other garden mountainte. Moreover, the garden lets wind to blow east and west and passengers to see range of mountains though itself.
On the other hand, the light leaked from high side window lights up the surroundings like a lantern. The house unified with the garden which is continuously renewed by the client is now opened to the local community.
