This residence is the architect's own residence to verify a small but liberating space. After verifying the minimum dimensions required for the rooms, all the room widths are 1.55 m. The depth of the building is 13.5 m. The residents can feel a sense of intimacy from a close distance and a sense of liberation and shared space from a far distance at the same time. The one-room space is supported by a furniture-like 50mm-thick wooden T-shaped structure and 50mm-thick floors. Natural light pours in through the high windows, creating a space of diverse light.

I have always been interested in the value of cutting-edge, historical, and sustainable architecture abroad. He pays particular attention to the relationship between light and space. Natural light is the state where artificial architecture and nature overlap, and this is where he feels the appeal of architecture. Regardless of the country, quiet light is always present in churches and temples. We would like to reproduce that value not only for specific purposes. Although based in a small town, he hopes to create architectural works that will be communicated to the world. His reputation has been proven by the international awards he has received, such as the DezeenAward, as well as media coverage.

The client is an architect. He is based in Toyota City, Japan. In this city, there is a famous automobile company. Although his design activities are based in a local city, he plans each house with the idea that it can be applied all over the world. Many of his residential works have been introduced in the international media. Although most of his commissions are for wooden houses, he also designs factories, offices, and clinics. His designs are characterized by efficient and clear planning, rational structures, and opening plans that emphasize light landscapes. He also intentionally plans to make the most of the surrounding environment and to reduce the feeling of oppression to the surroundings. In other words, from large objects such as streets to small objects such as railings, there is a strong awareness of dimensions. This represents his idea that architecture is something that connects relationships. He believes that material materials are sublimated into architecture when light overlaps the architecture, which is a collection of these dimensions. He states that in the future he plans to expand the scale of his work to include not only residences, but also medium-scale architecture. This is because he wants to give back to more people and society the knowledge he has gained through residential design. He also plans to further pursue the potential of wood as an architectural structure. The small atelier, which transmits information from a local city to the world, will continue to work ambitiously.
