Text description provided by architect.
Since there is a lot of snow in winter, terraces are not suitable.
We wanted to create a huge roof for the house volumes, which can cover the common space protected from the cold weather.
When the normal cubic volume diverges, a space will be formed in between and people feel welcomed by the warm and large space.
The unique branched shape from the outside will symbolize as a comfortable place in a contemporary way.
