Residential › Private House
The site is located in a newly developed residential area.
In that town made artificially, orderly lined with houses, there are no special scenery but the sky.
To live in this town with always feeling the sky, this house has a big hole on it's pitched roof cutting out the sky.
Because of its pitch, we can feel the sky without looking up anytime.
The floor level of private room, which is placed in south side, is lower than living room.
This makes the sky seem more horizontally.
To feel the sky closer, its roof edge is designed sharply so we can get a more clear framed sky.
In the house, there is a sky view coloring the residents' life, sometimes in blue, cloudy, or rainy on occasion.
