This house is an attempt to create a new landscape by rebuilding the relationship of life with the rice field left in surroundings. The interior is open toward the scenery while maintaining the privacy. The interior covered by glass is secured by outer shell and the courtyard and terrace becomes a buffer to welcome the natural light and breeze. The breeze delivers the scent of rice plants glow in seasons so as the sense of nature. Terrace is designed at the same height as the plant. When the louver at terrace is open, the infinity appears toward the ricefield. This house provides the value to live in original landscape of the Beautiful Japan.
