A villa for a sculptor. Although it is a one-room space, the diaper-shaped plan is connected at the corners to create a neckline, which creates a variety of places to live. In the courtyard, a sculpture ("Memory of Rain"), created by the builder to match the shape of the courtyard, can be seen from inside. The construction of the building was made possible by the ideas and techniques of the construction company, such as the formwork that supports the soft insulation material with reinforcing steel to simplify the construction of the foundation with its many curved surfaces, and the high precision of the pre-cut lumber that was cut by hand.
