The first floor of this three-story house is a flower shop and gallery run by the owner. The high first floor is open to both sides of the front road and the site of the elementary school to the north, while the second and third floors, which are the residential part of the house, have terraces and openings only on the north side in consideration of noise, and enjoy the planting of the elementary school as a borrowed landscape. The walls and ceiling are folded like a folding screen to reduce the structural burden and to create shadows in the room, and the uneven surfaces function as shelves, study spaces, and equipment spaces.
