House in Higashitamagawa

Outline
This project proposes a way to create an opening that brings in light while securing privacy in a built-up area. The walls are divided into sections, and the gaps between the reconfigured walls are used as openings so that the line of sight can pass over the site boundary without facing the neighboring houses. The directional wall divides the room gently and shows various expressions with the change of light.
