In order to divide the plane of the building into east and west, walls are built from the ground floor to the top floor in a north-south direction, with the living/dining room and private rooms on the west side and the stairwell on the east side. Through the openings in the walls, you can see the interior space on the other side from this room, and through the openings in the wall (the wall facing the outside), you can see the neighboring house and the sky. A layer of space is created, as if the room beyond the wall were a garden, and beyond that, the outside.
