A white color in the interior “diluted” only a very light wood and the changing hues of the sky.

The part on which the house is built, is located on the corner of a new residential district of Kawasaki-shi.

The main decoration of the interior is two rows of windows snow-white living room around which are formed all the other living rooms: it is like sky. A dominant feature of the situation of all rooms in the house is “void” – a spatial term and the importance of the eastern philosophy of existential definition.

Children’s room, kitchen, bedroom, closet, bathroom “surrounding” a spacious atrium lounge, fit in the dimensions of 9 x 9 x 6 meters ascetic “parallelepiped”.

“Breaking” the sky, the geometry and material elements of the roof allow the change of seasons and time to create an atmosphere inside the house.
