The site is located along a clear stream in Kiyosato plateau and is approached by walking about 60m from the front road. An RC volume is embedded in the slope on the west side to ensure a stable environment, and a glasshouse made of continuous laminated wood and covered with glass is installed on the east side to maximize the limited sunlight. In the winter, solar radiation is stored in the earthen floor, and in the summer, solar radiation is controlled by blinds, and the windows are opened to let in natural breezes to maintain an environment close to the cool outside temperature of the plateau.
