The building is built on a retaining wall with a frontage of 16.2m, with a view to the southeast. The volume of the building is divided into sections, and a semi-external space (earthen floor) like an alley is inserted in the gap between the volumes, and each room is accessed through this open space. In order to create a rich sequence and various scenes, the ceiling height of each room is changed, and the position and size of the openings are varied in order to design the passage and stopping of the line of sight.
