This is a house located in Yao City, eastern Osaka Prefecture.
The site faces the elementary school's school route, and beyond the schoolyard is a view of Mt. Takayasu in the Ikoma range.
A 1.5-story gable roof was placed along the road, and the central part on the east side was extended to create a large eave.
The area under the eaves becomes a valuable veranda, and the eaves serve as an arrow to the schoolyard, a blank space in the city.
The interior is integrally connected through the atrium, and the frame of large rafters that carves a regular rhythm creates a warm, partitioned space that is completely free and envelops the entire house.
The north staircase has a window that takes in the view of the neighbor's hedge, adding color to the daily ascent and descent.
The naturally dried Yoshino cedar framework shines beautifully and is full of vitality.
I can't wait to see the baby I built inside start attending elementary school right in front of me, and my friends sitting in line on the porch.
