The site is a right-angled triangle, bordered by a road on two sides. One side is at the same level as the site and the other side has a height difference of 3.5m. Therefore, the lowest floor is made of concrete, and the volume is made to the edge of the retaining wall between the road and the site, and two layers of wooden structure are put on the volume. The lower floor of the wooden structure is constructed with conventional axial construction, while the upper floor is constructed with laminated wood pillars placed one by one at each of the four corners to create a single room space with large openings on four sides.
