The west side of the building, which faces the bus route, is raised vertically, and the plan spreads out toward the back of the site, maximizing the depth and creating a parking lot and garden. The ceiling height on the first floor, which is also used as a photography studio, is approximately 3.2m, while the ceiling on the second floor, which houses the water and private functions, is kept at 1.9m. The third floor, which houses the LDK, has a ceiling height of approximately 3.3m, but the proportions change with the height of the eaves to guide the living activities from a standing position to a floor sitting position.
