This villa stands on a triangular piece of land that gently continues from the foot of Mt. As the site ends at an agricultural experiment station, the landscape is free of buildings for several tens of kilometers to Yatsugatake. In collaboration with a landscape designer, a relationship between the architecture using the land and the land using the architecture has been created, creating a scene as if it had always existed. The building is divided into a cube wing of about 8m square and a bedroom wing with a deformed single-flowing roof, and the entrance is located at the junction of the two. A maximum of eight people can stay in the house, but if the number of people is small, they can live only in the cube building.
