Home between Earth and Sky | ──Passive House with Sundial

Outline
This is a passive solar house with a built-in sundial, the architect's own residence. The house is located in a residential area facing a fishing pond, and faces south precisely in order for the sundial to function. The slope of the roof on the south side is set at 34.6 degrees, the same as the latitude of the site, and the time can be measured from the shadows falling on the interior.
