Two gate-shaped frames sandwich a fascia, and along the gate-shaped frame, a series of slit structures fitted with glass are placed at intervals of one meter. The north and south sides of the building, where the neighboring houses are close, let in light through the slit windows, while the east and west sides, which can be closed off, are wide open and connect the inside and outside through the earthen floor.
