The name of the project is "Nishihara Nagaya Apartments".
In Japanese language "Nagaya" means the sound of the storytelling.
That was idea of creating interior design, where people have opportunity to meet for communication and to get new space for relaxing alone time.
It is space which is consist from 4th separate buildings for 6 householders. All buildings have different floor levels and they are combined by bridges.
The major benefit of buildings design is sloping walls of the facade which provide for better ventilation of the apartments and for increasing daylight penetration.
The roof of building is used for the increasing of living space by creating terraces, where householders can staying alone or meet up for leisure.
