Kumano-cho is the traditional brush production region in Hi-roshima, Japan. “Weekend house in Kumano-cho” is the privacy-conscious weekend house for the old family. There-fore, it does not have large southern windows near the neighboring house, while Japanese houses are usually open to the south side.

Instead of southern windows, “Ring of stone floor” and “Di-agonal pass” make the interior space and the exterior gar-den come together to active the open atmosphere.

Four “Diagonal pass” which are lined on the corners of rooms come through “Ring of stone floor” made of tradition-al materials for brushes and calligraphy.

These human scale design approaches are developed from the idea of Japanese traditional houses.
