In consideration of the neighboring view, the arrangement of the building, its form, and the way the openings are made have been devised. In order to control the line of sight from the south, the house is divided into two volumes, a one-story volume and a two-story volume, in the form of a court house. The two-story volume is wrapped in a large roof, and is planned to take in light from the top light and allow the view to pass through the atrium on the first floor to the courtyard.
