A house for a family of four located in a residential area of Shichirigahama Japan. I put a big pavilion roof on the site with sidestepping the existing external elements such as a car park and trees.

There are 4 triangular masses under the roof and a side of every triangle supports hip rafters along the ridgelines.The places in the mass and between the masses have various directions and scale.It spreads, gets narrower, gets high and goes low.The sequence of them is a complicated continuous space with the living function.And the lines of sight pass through the window between the masses to all corners of the site as if be guided by the joint lines of the wooden wall.At the center of the house where the points of 4 triangles gather, calm light from the skylight above pours on and the air from other windows run up and go through it.Under the low deep eaves, I arranged outside places such as poach and terrace that stick into the inside.

An inhabitant will feel a connection in all directions and experience various scene and sense of distance seamlessly in this house.It is an inconstant relationship between house and family.

And I hope it can be helped to encourage a peculiar sense of living and an attachment to it.
