House in Tazawakojindai

Yasuhiro Sato

Outline: This one-story house is built on a long, quiet site with rice paddies. This is a popular type of housing that promotes the recycling of local materials by conducting life cycle assessment (LCA) of building materials through the use of unused and waste timber from the surrounding area as heat insulators, as well as through the use of waste bricks as heat accumulators.
