This house is located on the suburbs of the city of Sapporo.

The site is a typical suburban subdivision and heights differ along the road by large. Footprint is determined by building coverage, wall retreat from the architectural front and the approach of the site slop. I set the entrance long corridor as a buffer zone (windbreak room) between the large heat load space. Because of the small site area to set the buffer space into the inside is difficult. So I spread the thoughts and invent the space of a growing plant on Stainless Steel Wire around the house as the new type of buffer zone between outside and inside.
