This is a villa for sale in a wooded area typical of Karuizawa. The two symmetrical triangular volumes are arranged to avoid the oak and sawtooth trees in the center of the site. A large truss is built into the facing side, and a steel pillar is inserted in the key part of the two triangles to secure a large opening to the forest. In addition, there are many segments for the future owner to admire the house, including the plan, such as the paulownia wood floor, the fireplace with diatomaceous earth finish and handrail, the stove, the parallelogram staircase, the loggia, and the thin steel eaves.
