The building stands on a site with old private houses, alleys, and gently undulating rice fields characteristic of the Nara Basin. 80mm square solid steel square columns and three floor slabs support a pure Rahmen structure, and walls and windows arranged according to the surrounding environment and living space create a variety of places. The earthen floor and terrace create an interior that is continuous with its surroundings.
