Holes in the House

Outline
The architect's own residence, a four-story, steel-framed house built during the bubble period, which he renovated and lived in. Light and air flow from the first to the fourth floor through the "holes" adjacent to the staircase, and the presence of light and air is transmitted. The architect's goal is to break free from dependence on infrastructure by utilizing resources available in the city, such as sunlight and waste materials, and to bring energy and material circulation into the building.
