In this plan, the retaining wall and the building foundation are rationally combined, and the surplus part is returned to the courtyard as much as possible. The foundation is not vertical but slanted to give it a shape and give it an expression. The outer wall overlaps like a stack and continuously wraps around in a belt shape. There are no windows on the outside, but on the garden side, many windows and eaves create an intermediate area, creating a space that integrates the inside and outside.

Winner Designer
Hatsuo Morimoto
I am a Japanese residential architect. The house should act as a device that connects to the city, not a box for storing people in the city. We believe that design that connects people and things can bring the city to life without the power of large capital. My clients are also interested in the value that the home becomes a shared asset of the city. My nomination is to edit the city, how to design the outside as well as the inside of the house.
