A home with a slope connects differences in steps gently, making it attractive to go back and forth more smoothly between the inside and outside of the house. Providing a continuous slope from the entrance approach to the indoors is convenient not only when using wheelchairs or strollers, but also when carrying luggage. By combining stairs and slopes, or planning them integrally with gardens and domas, they can be utilized as rich spaces not just for movement. On sites with elevation differences, creating traffic flows along the terrain makes it possible to utilize the relationship between architecture and land. This introduces a slope home that is easy for anyone to move around and where you can feel the connection with the outside.
