The architects implemented a cross-section design free from the hierarchical configuration of a normal building, blurring the boundaries between building and furniture. his makes the house a vessel that allows for perpetual change to take place and leaves enough leeway for its inhabitants to add their own touch after they move in.
The bay window in the wall connecting to the ceiling can also become a bench, giving a sense of loftiness to the whole space. Boards placed between the four sturdy walls passing through the 1st to 3rd floor become shelves and desks that make for a big storage wall by using the structure of the house.
To minimize pressure from the corridor on the frontage path the architect devised a basic plan that placed the entrance and stairs at the center while the bedroom and public areas are divided on a north-south axis.
The layout was designed to alleviate the impression of narrowness of the frontage as much as possible and make the best use of the site’s conditions within the maximum volume allowed by setback restrictions.
