A small residence for a young couple and two dogs.　 This house's composition consists of three manipulations: layering, wrapping, and shifting. Different architectural materials used according to the function are expressed in layers. They are wrapped in layers, to create the family's living space as layering veils. First, thin sheets of paper were layered and rolled. Then they were bent to make angles. Because they lack stability as they are, they were squashed sideways and linked to one another.

They were shifted along the south-north axis, so that sunlight is intercepted during summer and taken in deep inside during winter. Huge eaves and a terrace were arranged on the southern side. The large space accommodates human gatherings, while the diagonal smaller spaces house the entrance and water utilities. There are two staircases, one outside and one inside, so that dogs and men can move around in circles. The family does not use chairs: they live on the floor. Leaning walls are backrests. Walls are furniture.

Houses are taken down and rebuilt, sites are divided into smaller plots---the surrounding environment lacks credibility. One wonders what may be the foothold of a house to be built under such circumstances. The client's family who chose to settle there, and the everchanging race of the sun. Building a small house is like spinning threads out of the residents' living habits, sense of values and environment and tailoring a huge piece of garment for them to wear collectively---the word garment implying that it fits the physical senses including living activities and functions as adjustment device against the town. Maybe that is why square, rigid things do not fit in nicely. I wish to create a dwelling with just enough strength to weather wind and rain, enveloped in soft layers, which is a house and a furniture at the same time.
