Landscape courtyard homes are created from floors, roofs, walls and openings in a single-story garden. This house is the residence of the architect. The site is located in a quiet residential area on a gentle slope, with lush Japanese white oaks and a camphor tree on the north side. The area has a slight retreat distance from the site boundary, leaving more space between adjacent buildings. Therefore, the architect thought it was possible to create a lush green environment for the house by creating a continuous green path from the north side down along the open garden to the courtyard, creating a landscape that harmonizes with the surrounding environment.

In addition, the building site is 1m higher than the main street, and even if the house has large windows, the inside cannot be seen from the outside. THE FRONT GARDEN, COURTYARD, LIVING ROOM AND NORTH GARDEN ARE ARRANGED ENCLOSED, CREATING A RELATIONSHIP THAT SEEMS TO OVERLAP EACH PLACE. In addition, from the entrance to the patio, deck, living room, bathroom and bedroom, the floor level gradually changes at 450mm intervals. Roofs and eaves gently connect each room to the patio while constantly tilting. Overlapping walls and greenery create a rich indoor-outdoor relationship with a sense of depth, openings in the roof that allow the sky to appear and disappear, different floors, and overlapping ground with green plants create a sense of horizontal depth, surround and upper and lower floors, creating a variety of expressions and comfort, as if building Lightly protected. The house is designed to be a comfortable place to live.

Throughout the structure, trees and roofs cast playful shadows, while radiating sunlight illuminates floors and walls, allowing residents to enjoy the scene as the seasons change. Open the windows, the sloping roof blows the breeze into the room, and the green scent brings a pleasant sense of unity. It is a house where you can enjoy the relationship between greenery, the surroundings and the various parts of the house.
