It is a building characterized by a gabled tiled roof with continuous top lights that draw a gentle arc of about 40 m in length according to the shape of the elongated site.Because of the view from the room and the high level of front road connection, the building has a pilotis-style structure, and all the rooms are arranged facing the spacious and deep viewing balcony.


Open the entrance door and go down the entrance space while looking at the courtyard where the cherry blossom trees are planted, and the continuous roof frame of the tension rod will be led to the distinctive gallery. The gallery is also used as a space for displaying paintings, as it also serves as a spacious corridor.
