Located near the Kujukuri beach, the entire site is surrounded by a hedge of Inumaki trees. The roof, which is 15m long and narrow from east to west, is covered with crushed roof tiles, which temporarily retain water from summer rain. The south side of the house is entirely terraced, and the eaves control the sun's rays. In summer, the beach breeze blows from north to south, and in winter, the sunlight reaching the interior is stored in the concrete blocks installed under the floor.
