This wooden residence features an asymmetrical L-shaped plan.

The main wing, a single-story structure, employs a timber rigid-frame construction to achieve a column-free space. This open area serves as the living, dining, and kitchen, all overlooking the garden.

Conversely, the two-story secondary wing greets visitors with a large, double-height atrium at the entrance floor, which also directs the sightline toward the garden.

The spatial composition is also unique: the ground floor of the secondary wing is designed without partitions—excluding the wet areas (toilet, washroom, and bathroom)—and continues up to the second floor as a single, integrated space without doors.
