House in Hikarigaoka / farm

The site is a suburban residential area that was developed in the 1960s. The client wanted to rebuild the original house and create a two-family house for mother and children's family. We used the context of the existing house as a base for our design, as there were many requirements such as the location of the existing building, the location of the garden and parking lot, the location of the Japanese-style room, maintaining the number of rooms, and preserving the existing trees. We thought it was necessary to unravel and reconstruct the environment embodied by the inhabitants in order to create a new environment.
