The building is located in Shioya Town, Shioya County, Tochigi Prefecture. Surrounded by the houses and fields that have Ohya stone warehouses, the scenery continues to be long and quiet.

The family keeps this large land from generation to generation, where there is a main house, a remote, a storehouse, a store, a well, a field, a garden. And when the young son got married, he told me that he wanted to make another one away.

Therefore, I wanted to develop a one-story building that would correspond to this rich environment with gardens and fields. The building is composed of three large roofs, including a carriage. Each roof has its own slope and expands to the surroundings, creating a high and bright eaves space that blends in with the environment. The three roofs are arranged to create a half-open courtyard and have a U-shaped planar shape as a whole. By doing so, I thought that a bright and open architecture without a center and front and back would be launched.

Even within a limited budget and limited area, we will take a lot of effort to mix the inside and outside. Light and wind pass comfortably through a bright and open building. We believe that a very rich environment that is simple and connected to the garden has been established.

I hope that this new Hanale will spin the history of the land together with other buildings.
