Rooftop Cabin is a renovation of a residential tower condo located in Niigata mountain area.

We are aiming to insert materiality of local cypress tree into concrete post and beam frames.

The cypress screen placed at double height living space is composed of 35mm x 105mm standard timber stud usually used for wall base material. Short and longside of the studs are connected adjasent to each other to compose self stand timber screen.

This alternation of short and long side of studs provide intimate enclosure at 1st floor, and simultaneously polous transparency at 2nd floor.
