This is a house for a couple and a small son in Sakai City, Osaka
Prefecture, Japan. We designed a large house with a square plan and
designed four small houses from each vertex. The gap between small
houses becomes a crossroad. The small houses are designed to be alone
and the crossroad is designed to stay with the family. Residents can
live in and out of small houses and a large house. The windows of small
houses are connected to the crossroad, and the windows of the large
house are connected to the garden, gentle hills, trees of the forest,
the sky and the clouds.
