House in Ushita

Outline
A house for a couple and their three children in a quiet residential area. On the south side, there is a trapezoidal plane in the form of a pilotis with colonnades and continuous beams, with an outer room and a hanare. The front exterior wall is finished with unpainted wooden louvers made of thermo-deck, a high heat-dried material. It changes its color to lye with age. The north side, where the family gathers, has a gambrel roof with truss arches.
