House in Karuizawa / Satoru Ito Architects

The planned site is a villa area in Karuizawa that was developed about 50 years ago. Surrounded by trees, each lot is approximately 1,000 m2, and the building-to-land ratio is 20%. The houses are scattered at a good distance from each other with the setback from the boundary of the site, which is unique to Karuizawa.
