The building is located in the mountain village-style housing development "Dotaro Village," which aims to create a community under the direct control of the residents. Two types of earthen walls made from the soil and bamboo of the land penetrate the interior and exterior. Large beams radiate from the main pillars, and the polyhedral roof and upper walls solidify the structure, creating an open space in an architecture made of earthen walls that tends to be closed.
