A "through doma" born from dialogue with the occupants. It connects to the child household, guides to the washitsu (Japanese-style room), attenuates sound, heat, and light, and serves as a buffer in various daily living scenes. Added eaves, engawa, and yukimi shoji mediate the spatial relationship between the garden and the living rooms. Morning, midday, and evening light is brought in through the clerestory. The occupants spend their days tracing the light. It created a tranquil life with changing light and greenery, with grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
