The principal focus of this project was how we should design in response to a heavy snowfall. Since there are some examples of research that snow cannot lie easily due to the influence of a wind as for a flat roof if there is even no parapet, rather, we designed by adopting such a flat roof in the Kobayashi ophthalmic clinic completed 1999.
Also in this house, it began to think from a box form at first. Although the effective idea was not able to be found out easily, as a result of repeating whether there is any method of breaking that somehow, and trial and error, composition as if the floor, the wall, and the roof were connected continuously and bent and built one plate was obtained.
