Tachikawa ANNEX House / MDS

Details between House and Warehouse - The building is an annex to the main building we designed about 10 years ago as the corporate headquarters of a clothing maker and the owner’s house. The site stretches over several zones under different regulations, which led to different structure or height variations. Our choice, in contrast to the five-story RC main house which rose vertically, was to design a light wooden building in the widened area at the back of the site, in the category I exclusively low-rise residential zone.
