In designing this house, we wanted to create a rustic and casual hut-like residence that would suit the borrowed scenery and the original landscape. We proposed that the surrounding nature can be enjoyed in two ways: as a landscape to enjoy the view when indoors, and as a space that can be enjoyed as one when spending time in the garden or on the terrace. In this way, the house is sophisticated yet unpretentious, allowing people to simply enjoy their casual, everyday lives. While technology and values will continue to change with the times, we hope that this residence, which satisfies the universal desire to feel nature, will become an architecture that will be loved for a long time to come.
