Courtyard House at Wani / design it

Wani is located in the northern part of Otsu City, and is located between Lake Biwa and Mt. Hira. It is a suburban residential area where people live leisurely, but JR Kosei Line runs north and south and has good access to Kyoto and Osaka. We designed a small house on a hill in Wani. The owner is a dog lover and likes the outdoor activities, and his hobby is swimming with his dogs in Lake Biwa on weekends. The owner's request was to live with his dogs and to fully enjoy the scenery and atmosphere unique to Wani.
