The site is 33㎡ in size and is located along a very laid-back neighborhood with a mix of small stores and residences.

The back side of the house faces a children's park.

For example, when you are in the small pavilion in the park, you feel like you are 'in the park itself' rather than in the pavilion.

This house also protects privacy, but because the site is so small, the presence of the large park and the town swallows up the fact that it is a 'house'.

We aimed to create a house where you can feel as if you are in the park, or as if the town itself is the site of the house.

"A tiny house is more fantastical than a big house!"

These were the words of the client during the design process.
