This is a housing complex consisting of nine units in the suburbs of Okazaki City, Aichi Prefecture. Since the building is located in a low-density residential area, the building is placed in the center of the site and the parking lot is placed around it to allow the wind to blow through to the neighboring land. On the first floor, each dwelling unit is placed in a 1.5 to 2 square meter box with a space between them, and a tubular volume extending horizontally is placed on top of the box, so that the residents can share the outdoor space, wind, and light.
