A villa on a hill with a warm white theme. Using the white and warm texture of wood as the main character, we created a gentle yet light space in the green.

The hot spring bath is built so that it can be buried in the garden as a separate area.

Using the louver and the slanted surface, the surrounding nature and the building were directly joined.
