This single family residence near the Japan Sea is designed for sustainability and functionality with a feeling of family at its center. This single-storied home has a roof and exterior covered in glass fiber shingle that mimics the surrounding

mountains and provides protection from the seaside winters. Strategically 

structured space has well placed openings for top light, and using window 

breezeways along the south and north to avoid air stagnation. The interior 

is pleasant with natural light and cool breezes-- especially welcomed in the 

hot and humid summer. The building height is low and the roof shape is 

unobtrusive allowing it to blend with the surrounding environment.
