The land chosen by my childhood friend and his wife was in the favorite city they were accustomed to.It was in a busy city area near the station.I was worried about the line of sight from the street, but I dared to create a house-building concept with the idea of ​​”creating a large eaves that will attract people passing by.”

In planning, the large open windows appeal to the space that is not closed.Each ceiling of the eaves and the rooms have the same structure and materials.By seamlessly connecting the ceiling of interior and the eaves, the interior and exterior areas are expanded.A living zone is placed in the large space under the eaves.Even if you are indoors, you can feel as if you are outside (under the eaves).

In planning, we also considered the functional live activity line of entrance → shoe in closet → pantry 1 → kitchen → pantry 2 → washroom and dressing room, in order to support the busy daily life of the dual-income couple.The private area on the 2nd floor is a large one-room space that is integrated with the living room atrium and is softly partitioned while feeling the presence of a family.The space under the eaves outside and the small alcove-like depressions on the second floor give a varied expanse.

Children’s vehicles and playground equipment are now placed under the large eaves.The couple are pleased that “it’s quite useful that there is enough space to play if it rains so much that it does not blow in.” I hope that you will continue to enjoy and effectively use the eaves.
