Narrow skip-floor steel-frame garage house
Earthen-floored garage that also serves as the entrance.
Motorbike garage that doubles as the entry—an owner’s hobby space.
A lifestyle from which the owner’s vehicle can be viewed from above and below.
View from the kitchen toward the dining and living areas.
View from the children’s room toward the LDK and kitchen.
The kitchen is simply and compactly built-in with Lauan-faced panels and a stainless-steel countertop.
Large south-facing openings. Classified as a two-story building above ground with no alternate emergency access.
Dining area. Flooring is 35 mm-thick Yoshino cedar scaffold planks.
Window-side: despite the narrow lot, double-height ceilings over two levels and expansive openings create a sense of openness in the living room.
Overall view of the LDK. 100 mm square columns are arranged regularly.
Occupant comfort is ensured by insulation packed behind the metal siding.
A household work corner located at the junction of the kitchen, wet areas, and roof terrace.
View down to the living and dining from the stair landing.
A roof terrace adaptable for drying laundry, gardening, and other multifunctional uses.
A bathroom that remains open and airy while preserving urban privacy.
Interior and exterior left in a naked, unlined skeleton state.
At night the whole house appears to glow like a paper lantern.
