House in Fukawa

Outline
While it is not possible to open the building straightforwardly due to the heavy traffic on the road in front of it, the exterior walls are built in a way that suits the site, creating a volume like a large tree inside the space. The trunk of the tree is a stairwell, from which the rooms protrude like branches and leaves. The rooms have openings and the upper part becomes a terrace, and various relationships are created between the rooms, the space between the outer walls, and the outside.
