House with two focal points

Outline
The first floor facing the road is visually closed, and instead, the visual distance is extended by mirroring to make the room feel wider. On the contrary, the second floor is visually open to the direction of Mount Yahiko and Mount Kakuda. The distance is reduced by applying a reverse perspective to make the scenery seem closer.
