house conected to garden

The dimensions of this house are based on the traditional Japanese standard of 910 mm scale. The long depth to the street is a configuration that has taken root in this area since ancient times. The spatiality is achieved by traversing the floor through the atrium.

The indoor thermal environment is controlled by a passive solar system; warm light pours into the living and dining rooms where the two families gather, and the individual rooms are located on the north side of the house.
