The concept on this project is creating rooms connected visually, but also creating rooms separated physically.For example,The dining room is connected to the den through a void.The master bedroom is connected to the corridor by the glass door.You can see the stairs from dining room though, cannot go up to the second floor unless otherwise going around around the corridor.For going up to the den, you must use the ladder at the entrance(not the stairs).Thus, you cannot go into or out the room directly.I think that these space composition would create an expanse in this small house.project info:type: private residencelocation: mie, japanstructure: woodstories: 2height: 6.25 msite area: 229.89 m2building area: 71.61 m2total floor area : 101.22 m2design period: october, 2010 - august, 2011construction period: september, 2011 - march, 2012
