Enjoyable great view from the site, this house is located on the top of the hill to be able to overlooking the Hiratsuka City in front, a distant view of Enoshima and Miura Peninsula to the east. There is no choice in zoning of building because of 2 separate ground levels in mostly triangular shape of the site and short length of connecting road. In addition, here is not good accessibility. However, the client decided to live along with this beautiful scenery and green. Spiral form of the building comes from various requests and restriction by the site shape. Interior space finish that has been unified in a dark color has been selected to feel more strongly the large amount of falling light from the large opening. When going up the stairs through the dark space, we would be wrapped in dazzling light. Once the retina gets a rapid contraction, eyes get used to the darkness and finally horizontal line appears. Lush greenery and Sagami bay of blue are beautifully trimmed and the stunning view is burned in the mind at the same time. In the house surrounded by nature, we imagine that the client family play with their children while lie down in the scenery.
