This house is located in a residential area right next to the national forest, and one side of the site is facing a dead-end street. One of the main client requests is “feeling the nature without disturbing its scenery and no interruption by the neighbors”.

To meet the request above, each four room section was placed in zigzag-shaped line, so that the clients could enjoy its scenery in every room from different angles in various ways, without interrupting each room feature or the view, and furthermore, all the main windows are facing the forest, so as not to worry about the neighbors’ looks.
The different views from each room enables the residents to spend daily life comfortably and meaningfully, as if they are in a resort place even though this house is built in an ordinal residential area.
