Asaka project is a combination of the new small house construction and the renovation of the storehouse and the main house. These 3 buildings make a continuous scene, and holistically activate the site with the bridge connecting the buildings. The life of dwellers are shown on the bridge. The renovated storehouse and the piloty become a gallery for guests. “Moktankan” bench placed on the existing stone fence and the open deck area become the place for the communication between dwellers and guests. Asaka projects is the open-minded house which give comfortable feeling not only to the dwellers and also to the guests.
