This two-story wooden residence is located in Yuasa, Wakayama Prefecture. It is built to envelop the adjacent one-story main house. Although the site is compact, measuring just 16 tsubo, the white walls create a distinctive presence and sense of scale, taking advantage of Wakayama’s abundant sunlight. An open wall positioned in front of the entrance acts as a device for drawing in the gentle breezes that flow along the river in front of the house in the morning and evening, creating an exceptionally comfortable interior.
Structural system and scale: Two-story timber structure
Total floor area: 90 m²
